The Senate just posted the report language of its FY26 science appropriations bill. This text lays out what they want done and carries the force of law if it is included in the final spending bill.

It's a line-by-line refutation of Trump's proposed budget for NASA and NOAA.

9 people were killed in a tornado last night in KY. The NWS office responsible for that area has faced some of the most extreme cuts by the Trump administration, including the loss of overnight forecasting.

Last night, they were rushing to find help for the office.

New paper out from the lab showing efficient uptake and recycling of cobalamins in the North Pacific by Jiwoon Park urldefense.com/v3/__http://...
Efficient cobalamin uptake and cycling contribute to the lack of cobalamins in the surface cobalt‐binding ligand pool in the North Pacific
Cobalt is a central component of cobalamins, which are nutrients essential for various metabolic processes in marine organisms. Dissolved cobalt in seawater is mostly bound to organic ligands, and th...
