A while back I learned something mindblowing about the geological history of the Mediterranean Sea, and I just can't get it out of my head.

Now I'm going to make it *your* problem too. Sorry.

Hang onto your hat. This is wild.

Climate.gov is the main source of timely climate-related information for the public. It will stop publishing new information because the Trump administration laid off everyone who worked on it.

If you are shocked, alarmed, or disappointed about the news that Climate.gov has been effectively shut down with the firing of its content team, here are some things you can do to help! (1/6) 🧪

I’ve got a working theory that parents of young children wrote Final Destination. Watching a promo for it is just a normal minute in my mind played out on screen.

Well, last night we went through our first tornado watch since the NOAA cuts. I was mad about the cuts beforehand but now, awake randomly through the night wondering of the effects of those cuts would impact my family and community by us not getting a tornado alert in time… mad as hell. #NOAA

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Feels like we’re witnessing a new germ (in the shape of Musk) infecting us, and now our immune system is reacting.

Will the germ cause too much damage before we can regain control?

Will it kill the host?

Okay, a sincere question: way back when Twitter was a different sort of place, people who listened to Morning Edition on @wnyc.org would engage with us there. It was really nice! It made the show better. You caught our mistakes, laughed at our music and asked us really smart questions. 1/3

Very excited (and a bit nervous) to announce that I will be hiring two Postdocs for my new group(!) in Copenhagen to study the Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA which survives in present-day humans. Retweet will be much appreciated :)

Nevada voters! Check!

Some may call it an echo chamber, but I am glad to be speaking to like minded people on here today. I would have been lost if I was on the hell site or just sitting here unable to vent. I appreciate you all on this horrible day.

We're four days into the most significant natural disaster in the recorded history of our region. Our community is experiencing an ongoing crisis created by infrastructural collapse and the profound failure of capitalism to value and sustain life. 1/?

If ever there was a case to be made for the letter Q it’s in the word cucumber. And yet.
