the human equivalent of the feeling when you step in dog poo, russ vought, is trying to destroy science.

in may, the office of management and budget released a giant document detailing all the ways they can eliminate research funding in the united states.

nearly all science, especially climate science, done in the US is federally funded, and if these rules go into effect, it will be almost impossible for the work myself and my colleagues do to be funded.

public commenting on the proposed rules are open until July 13th, please take a few minutes and submit a comment. you don't have to be a scientist, US citizen, or even live in the US to comment. and if you want, you can do so anonymously!

Syl has some fun and not-so-fun facts about how your weather forecast gets made as he strolls through Delaware.
