Oceanographers of the world! There will be an information session for my Life Skills for Young Scientists mentorship program at OSM 26 in Glasgow, on Thursday, Feb 26, from 3:45 - 5:15pm. I will describe the program, and you can meet past participants as well. All are welcome!

“This is the first time I’ve seen fires in Canada survive two winters and I’ve been watching fires closely since the 1970s. A number of these fires started in 2023, burned through the winter … continued to grow in 2024 and then survived this winter." thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

As you know, there are now many initiatives being offered by other countries to support US researchers whose funding has been cut or threatened. Here is my attempt to gather the relevant information about all of these efforts in one place. Please share. jmlilly.net/blog/2025/05/20/…

How it feels to tank the global stock market for no reason whatsoever

Really, every American should read this thread. It's how our closest allies see us now. Isn't it time to look in the mirror?
Dear Americans, Since the White House press secretary is attacking me today, I wanted to tell you this ⤵️

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at @Columbia & academic career... 1/🧵

This is perhaps the most outrageous thing I've ever captured. A moonbow (rainbow made from moonlight rather than sunlight), with snow (rather than rain) with the northern lights behind it. A Polar Lunar Snowbow?

I am deeply ashamed of the childish, deceitful, and cruel behaviors of America's leaders.
Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Completely unsurprisingly, words related to climate change are the next target.
NEW: @NOAA divisions have been asked to search their grants for climate-related keywords, among other executive order-related terms. axios.com/2025/02/09/noaa-se… 1/

Please read this tragic story from @trajan317 about how abruptly cutting DEI programs pulls the rug out from under talented researchers, with potentially career-ending consequences. Then, read the many shocking comments that can only be described as hateful. This is now America.
Tonight I found out that the NSF math postdoctoral fellowship I applied for is being deleted because it does not comply with Trump’s executive orders on DEI in the federal government. I’m going to answer some FAQs and share some thoughts about this ordeal in this thread 1/n

Carrying on NOAA operations, including ships at sea in international waters, without communicating with foreign nationals? Including foreign nationals who are legally in the US for research, or even working for the government? Even temporarily, this is pretty much impossible.

Among the many others affected by this, the freeze on all Federal grants and loans means that every person in the US who works on scientific research in support of our country's priorties is currently wondering when and if their next paycheck will arrive. washingtonpost.com/business/…

I've served on these panels. It takes a huge amount of coordination to gather scientists to review proposals, who have to arrange taking a week off of their regular responsibilties. This will delay funding cycles by probably months, affecting people's livelhoods.
The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt. The pause comes as NSF grapples with the impact Trump's executive orders will have on their grantmaking process. npr.org/sections/shots-healt…

If you're a scientist that serves on an NSF panel that got cancelled today, I'd love to talk to you about it for an NPR story. DM, email or reach out on signal.

This place has really gone downhill lately, so I'll be over at @jmlilly.bsky.social seeing if we can make that a better place.

If you're interested in time series analysis, my course in March at U. Hamburg still has a few slots still open. From a former student: "If I had taken this course at the beginning of my PhD, I could have accomplished everything I did in the first year in four months.”
