Anyone know an editor at “discover sustainability” a nature journal? They have signed me up to do a review that I did not agree to and they refuse to do anything but send me reminders every day. I have emailed them three times at the official address. Help!

That is my goal! Been actively looking at foundations online but appreciate any recommendations too. We have a spreadsheet of places to apply to but I suspect there are a lot more out there.

More news on AI2ES. Please help save science funding in general but also help save AI for weather!

Thank you!

Thank you! And yes, he is but he doesn't control independent agencies, just helps set budgets. Unfortunately, NSF is implementing much of the PBR in advance

Thank you! It is devastating news but we are searching for a way to move forward and still do amazing work.

You would think that would help but federal cuts are brutal right now.

This is AI2ES, my AI institute. No way around it other than to say this is really awful. We are doing so many amazing things! We want to keep doing amazing things but without this level of funding, we will not be able to do so.

Another blow to meteorological R&D this morning, as it was confirmed that NSF is terminating funding for its main weather and earth science focused AI research institute led by the Univ. of Oklahoma. Also - a LOT of weather to talk about, especially in the West. More: https://tinyurl.com/mr2znbdb

This is the definition of a failed social media platform.
For scientists who use social media to encourage followers to visit external links (websites, papers, etc.,) here’s some data from this blog. For nearly a decade, Twitter was the #1 or #2 source of traffic to the blog almost every day. It hasn’t been in the top 10 sources of traffic to the blog in years, and a single SheetMusicPlus.com article from 2016 generates more traffic here than all of Twitter. So far this year, Bluesky is responsible for about 100x as much traffic as Twitter. AltMetric reports that despite Twitter having 10x the user base as BlueSky, BlueSky users share almost as many scholarly publications as Twitter users- and Twitter’s numbers are declining as Bluesky’s rise.

No, they are miniature schnauzers. If they were giant schnauzers, that would be a really big lawnmower!

This was the other fun surprise on the south oval last night, apparently OU has a new robot lawnmower! We didn’t get to see it in action, but it’s quite large! Schnauzers for scale!

We usually start at sarkeys and loop through the north oval and south oval. That heron was just south of the library

Google image search says yellow crowned night heron and Merlin says yellow or black crowned (despite it offering me blue when I searched before). I agree with you that the second stripe seems to match the yellow crown much better. I don’t see much yellow crown though

I thought it was a blue heron, but I’m not a knowledgeable birder! Merlin offered both when I asked it.

I don’t think so, the AQI is 60 right now. I think it was just clouds and the right angle with sunrise.

Last week, the govt dismissed 400 researchers working on the US National Climate Assessment. I was one of them. Today, @agu.org & @ametsoc.org announced they are joining forces to sustain the momentum. It's not a replacement, it's a reminder that science is unstoppable. news.agu.org/press-releas...

Congressionally mandated, the NCA draws on the latest scientific research to evaluate how climate change is affecting the United States. The new special collection does not replace the NCA but instead...
