I hope you read, really consider its implications, and share it widely.

"It is often said: When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. If that is true, then only weeks into Donald Trump’s four-year term, we are approaching tyranny."

My greatest achievement most days is finding my mind after I’ve lost it.
I've been thinking about this topic for a few years now and want to share my thoughts since it seems so many are losing their minds these days.

I wrote my thesis on barrier islands. Guess geomorphology is too woke for grants now.
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
