It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.
The Livestream is in its second of 2 days, it has been amazing! Tune in to a continuous science-a-thon with great talks by brilliant scientists, hosted by other brilliant scientists. Plenty of audience Q&A. It's a really unique thing, actually. It'll be a document for history books.
This is one of the most insane things I’ve seen from this regime. Please read this excellent summary and comment in the federal registry. 🧪🌊
The Weather and Climate Livestream starts today at 4pm ET, and I am the first speaker, at 4:20! I'm going to talk about my own career, how it was enabled by many great people, federal agencies, and intellectual traditions, and the public benefits of the whole enterprise.
