NEW: California scientists say a Trump admin proposal to cut tens of millions of dollars to NOAA-funded programs would hamper weather forecasting, disrupt critical ocean data collection and decimate climate research.

@sfchronicle.com spoke to more than a dozen CA scientists. Here’s what they said:

Lots of people showed up for the #StandUpforScience rally in San Francisco today! I chatted with scientists and supporters at the event for a @sfchronicle.com story with Roland Li: www.sfchronicle.com/science/arti...

I learned a lot from scientists about what cutting federal funds for research means in my latest for @sfchronicle.com. The impacts were even more than I’d expected www.sfchronicle.com/weather/arti...

Just in time for #StandUpForScience2025, I spoke with @jackjlee.bsky.social at the @sfchronicle.com about the impacts of cutting federal funding of science and biomedical research: “We’re...wondering why something that has benefited from bipartisan support for 70 years is now currently a target.”

Working on a story for @sfchronicle.com about the administration's impacts to science, including #NIH and #NSF funding. Hoping to chat with early-career scientists, especially grad students and postdocs, about how you've been affected. Thanks!

sfchronicle.com is committed to covering the cuts to federal science funding and spending. The weather and climate teams are working vigorously to report on the impacts on Californians and Americans.

I'm a reporter at the SF Chronicle hoping to speak with scientists who were impacted by the government firings. Specifically NOAA scientists, especially those in California. Open to hearing from you on the record, off the record or anonymously.

BTW, if you work in the weather/climate/disaster/emergency management space and are/were a federal employee who has been fired in recent hours/days, there are multiple journalists interested in speaking to you (and will be watching replies on this thread).
