No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Of all the departures this past year at NOAA—via the fork offer, retirements, etc.— the one that stung the most was the firing of people in their probationary first year. They have more modern skills than those of us who received their PhDs in the 90s and 00s. My whole department is in its 50s now.
How many STEM Ph.D.s were lost from the U.S. federal government last year?
My colleagues @mghersher.bsky.social and @policyhound.bsky.social dug into a recent data release to find the answer. A @science.org exclusive.

Senator Murkowski please withdraw from the Republican party and become an Independent. Speak your mind and do the right thing. If you lose the next election so be it, at least you will have your self-respect.

I know I'm dreaming, but if a few moderate Republican Senators would become Independents and stand together against these outrageous nominations by Trump, they could become the most powerful members of Congress and help stop the trainwreck that is going to ruin our country.
