We warmly welcome @keltonminor.bsky.social as a new Associate Professor in Planetary Behavioral Data Science, in a joint position with the Psychology Dept.
Kelton's research examines how individuals and populations adapt to rapid global changes in the atmosphere, biosphere, and cybersphere.
There will be a brain drain out of the US to Canada, Europe and other countries.
And once we lose these top researchers we may never get them back.
It‘s been a monumental mistake to attack science and higher education.
There were 23 billion-dollar weather and climate disasters in the US in 2025.
And we only know this because @climatecentral.org hired the NOAA employee who led this vital tracking effort, which was decommissioned by the administration last spring.
Heat & very dry air that used to be rare, now very common in Spain & Portugal, putting huge strain on EU firefighting resources - at 1.3C global warming.

Spending plan also calls for smaller research spending cut than feared
