Besides the principle of the attack on science, what also annoys me about this graph is the fact that looking at the amount you save (1 billion being generous) its not a lot of money compared to the debt…which is supposedly why they did this in the first place, right? 🧐

Here’s how Trump’s war on science is going. NSF funding is at the lowest level in decades. We’ll lose knowledge, generations of scientists, and US competitiveness.

A line graph depicting cumulative grant funding by the National Science Foundation from 1990 to 2025, with funding amounts on the vertical axis and timeline indicators on the horizontal axis. The graph highlights funding trends over the years, with a specific emphasis on Biden’s term and this year (which is the lowest).

Probably one of the coolest marketing videos Ive seen of AI 4 Geoscience. I love how they say: “GeoAI empowers you to do what you’ve always done but better, faster, and more precisely.” It feels a lot leas like snake-oil and more about empowerment.

Check out this video to see real-world GeoAI applied to GIS workflows to solve problems. Not just messing around in notebooks and comparing accuracy stats :) mediaspace.esri.com/embed/secure...

Spain is very safe and the people are generally very happy. Even the northern europeans recognize that the general aura here is very positive! Also the food is healthy and tasty. No need to spend a lot to eat well. The fact that there are a LOT of older people says a lot.

I live in Valencia/Madrid, Spain right now. Also lived in Grenoble, France for a bit. Europe is underrated. No regrets!

Im glad papers like this come out. In my very limited experience with extremes, people kept telling me there should be some trend in the data but i couldn’t find any for the life of me. Especially with observations. Reanalysis and simulations are a different story. Great job! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

High temporal variability not trend dominates Mediterranean precipitation - Nature

Our assessment of a 27-country weather station dataset in the Mediterranean region revealed long-term stability in precipitation over 150 years, along with substantial short-term variability on annual...

I wish my first post was more academic related which is what I want my account to be tailored towards…buttttt the new kendrick album just dropped and it goes hard!
