This is a decent estimate of the cuts in funding that will be coming down the road for the nation's top research universities. Why are we doing this?

Very pleased about this manuscript coming out! It was a real pleasure to work with Estella Atekwana and James Byrne!

I do not like this.

I feel like this attitude is present at my university as well. At the same time, I don't feel that the use of AI to generate text is cheating, in and of itself. It's what a person does with that text that is important. www.chronicle.com/article/chea...

In a paper published in Reviews of Geophysics, S. Piccolroaz and colleagues focus on lake water temperature models, summarizing their advantages and limitations, as well as the data sources required to drive them @agu.org #AGUPubs @thecccuk.bsky.social doi.org/10.1029/2023...

This review by Xin Li and colleagues outlines the development of global, regional, and catchment-scale Land data assimilation (LDA) systems and software platforms, proposing grand challenges of generating land reanalysis and advancing coupled land‒atmosphere DA. @agu.org doi.org/10.1029/2022...

This is really exciting and I can't wait to see how the atmosphere evolved over much of the mid-Pleistocene transition! www.nbcnews.com/science/envi...

Really interesting paper exploring how people perceive scientists who advocate for public policy in a limited way.

The biggest student-aid legacy of the Jimmy Carter era, by far, was a program that made middle-income students eligible for Pell Grants and opened up the subsidized-loan program to all students, regardless of need. chroni.cl/49UxwjV

While many changes to DEI efforts have been made through state-level directives, more colleges are eliminating diversity offices and staff even when they aren’t required to do so. chroni.cl/4gFDG9L
