Cuts to #science of >50% at NASA and >75% at NOAA would end US climate and space science research.

NASA cuts are '...an "extinction level" event': arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

This is a lovely tribute to the DC-8 “flying lab”, retired last year. It’s been an integral part of my career, from the very start of my PhD right through to our most recent paper in review. Although the plane has retired, its legacy lives on through the data! ✈️

@agu.org do you have an email address to contact for help with an AGU account? The website won’t allow me to update my account to my new email address following my change of affiliation. Thanks!

I’ll still have a bit of research time in there. Undergrad education has always been a passion (going all the way back to those student-faculty conferences in my Caltech days), so pretty excited to make that a focus area for the time being!

Absolutely! I’ll still get a little bit of research time (and we should stay in touch even if we aren’t doing science together!)

Although first responders were successful in keeping the fire from JPL, over 150 JPLers have lost their homes. Here’s link to the Caltech/JPL disaster relief fund if you’re so inclined: caltech.imodules.com/controls/ema...

Thanks for your support of our JPL family.
