New from me: Everything feels overwhelming. But here is a tangible thing you can do: write a comment to oppose Trump's plan to convert 50,000 career civil servants into political appointees.

- Reposted by Anne CarpenterOK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

- Reposted by Anne CarpenterI’m not sure most people know it funds EVERYTHING at a hospital. Medicaid goes away, hospitals start going away. We need to keep telling people this, as they think just “poor” people won’t be able to see a doctor.

It also means you're less likely to flip over the handle bars. It also reduces bodily stress. Most US bikes are built on sport bikes and thats why your back hurts

I finally have a worm colleague in my Dept - Josh Meisel - who is fabulous btw. I just convinced him to pick 'vey'. Now we need to make a double mutant. (Yes - I am very pleased with myself).

- Reposted by Anne CarpenterAlso, I really need people to stop saying the “best“ scientists are the ones who will be able to move. The ones who will be able to move are the ones with the least responsibilities outside of their science. Guess who those people always are? Hint: it’s not gonna be the married women.
- Reposted by Anne CarpenterWhile I understand the sentiment, I must disagree. We are already required to do too many different things at a high level. Communicating with the public is not an easy skill and requiring that students be good at it is in some ways another barrier. Instead, make a podcast with NotebookLM!
