If you travel around your city using public transit, why not print out copies of Megan's "How to Report ICE" in your city and hand those out? It's a simple way to inform people. drive.google.com/drive/folder... - I distributed some to folks on the bus today and they were all grateful to receive them

Heyyyy we desperately need more archaeologists to volunteer to answer questions from students via video chat through @skypeascientist.bsky.social.

We have 80 unmatched teams. We’ve already matched 650 😵‍💫

If you know any archaeologists, please send them here www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html

A Bard College student was kidnapped by ICE and Bard’s administration is advocating for his release and has created a website to assist the rest of the community in joining them.

That’s what academic leaders should be doing for their students right now. www.instagram.com/p/DQKSTDJkeF...

It is impossible to imagine people allowing this to go on (or even participating in it within the government) if he was ordering the murder without any process of French citizens or Brits or Australians on boats no matter what they were alleged to be doing.

By popular demand: I've opened a Kickstarter for a HOP T-shirt!

If I get 50 preorders I'll do a print run!

Talk less. Smile more.

It's that time of year again... time for #DisabledInSTEM 2026 Mentorship applications! I'm so excited to be running this program for the sixth year and seeing the growth over the years!

Mentee form: forms.gle/um5DvYnBi3tn...
Mentor form: forms.gle/BvaxnQm8uhUR...

Applications due December 5th!

I’m also in the cavatappi camp. And farfalle! I love eating those little butterflies/bow ties!

This lawsuit, which demands that the House of Representatives finally seat Rep. Adelita Grijalva, has, um, fairly major implications for our democracy's survival in 2026 and beyond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“More than 420 anti-science bills attacking longstanding public health protections – vaccines, milk safety and fluoride – have been introduced in statehouses across the U.S. this year, part of an organized, politically savvy campaign to enshrine a conspiracy theory-driven agenda into law.“

I’m looking for a grad student or two to start in Fall ‘26 on a new project on geoscience identity formation. Please get in touch if you’re interested in a masters in geoscience education at WWU! Contact and other info at robyndahl.github.io

For those interested, I’ll giving a departmental colloquium on “Nine months in the federal assault on climate science” on 10/29 at 11:30am EDT

Adelita Grijalva: "There is so much that cannot be done until I'm sworn in. So every moment that passes that I'm not able to provide constituent services or be a voice for Arizona, I cannot bring the issues forward that they send me here to do."

Fewer grad students means less science, but many STEM PhD programs in the US are cutting back on admissions this year due to federal funding uncertainties. Words by me for @nature.com:

A decade of BGC-Argo and plankton records shows North Pacific heatwaves reshape food webs and trap small particles in midwater, slowing deep-ocean carbon export. Impacts vary by event, underscoring the need for sustained ocean monitoring. @mbarinews.bsky.social @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

Again, we come back to the problem that it's very easy to see election outcomes as products of simple trends. Just run more moderates! Stop talking about climate! This is what consultants sell donors on, easy stories. But election results, aggregated human behavior, is much more complex.

If you are experiencing all the hormones in one house, we would love to hear from you: Tell us about the laughter, the tears and the weirdness of going through hormonal changes with your kid. We want to laugh, cry and revel in both the awkward and the awesome!

Comment below and we’ll be in touch.

It’s kind of wild that after seven million people were in the streets protesting, the president posted a hallucinated video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on Americans and then proceeded to start demolishing parts of the White House
