What are Wildlife Crossings? Overpasses or tunnels, they enable animals' freedom of movement, & save lives, money, & property. They mitigate the impact of human intrusion into habitats. Wildlife crossings are important to animals large & small: beavers, bears, deer, fish, turtles, bees, and more.

How will the Administration carry out this executive order and how will it be interpreted at Federal science agencies? We must monitor. We must work to preserve the integrity of the world-class science done at Federal agencies and the science-based public safeguards it enables. Watch this space.

Once again we see a focus on reproducibility, transparency in modeling and data, emphasis on uncertainties--All things scientists routinely do! But history shows this frame has been coopted to discredit scientists and attack science-based policies with EPA a prime example: undark.org/2019/11/21/o...
Trump's Attack on Science Is an Attack on Public Health
Opinion | I spent years doing research to inform policy. Now the Environmental Protection Agency is working to erase it.

Here the Administration lays the groundwork for weaponization of scientific principles to justify rollback of science-based policy actions. This isn't just hypothetical, its what the first-term Trump Administration and members of Congress have done for years. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The EO proports to be focused on the hallmarks of scientific quality--reproducibility, transparency, unbiased peer-review. The scientific community at large embraces these pillars of science. Now we must watch what actions the administration takes next at agencies in the name of these principles.

The Trump administration just dropped an executive order, "Restoring Gold Standard Science" and there's lots to unpack. This EO reveals more about how the Administration will approach scientific integrity and science in regulatory contexts. Some initial thoughts. 🧵

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States.
That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

We’ve covered some of this on Eco-Logic, Wednesdays at 10 a.m. (ET; 9/8/8 going West), notably with NASA researcher Anastasia Romanou on Nov. 13, 2024 and with Tim Dillingham, executive director of the American Littoral Society on Mar. 12, 2025—& on Mar. 19 with Nano Seeber of Lamont-Doherty Labs.
Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.
