happy p4a to all who celebrate. i'm hyping up Union of Concerned Scientists this year, because i am in fact a concerned* scientist

amidst DOGE closing the NASA GISS office, my pal climateadam reached out for a chat. what's happening to climate science, and science in general, in the US right now is horrifying, Adam lays out the facts well, and then I'm also there being a sad sack.

if you find climate change overwhelming or too much or too hard, Dr. Kate Marvel wrote this beautiful book for you. it is funny and accessible and full of wonder (literally the first chapter) and joy.

find it at your library or pop into your local bookstore. or if you're trapped in the internet here is a link.
