RFK Jr. says the top scientific journals are “corrupt”. Yet his MAHA disinformation report includes fake references and grossly false statements. Reviewers and editors at any of these journals would have caught these, resulting in its wholesale rejection. Don’t give an inch to this charlatan.

Will do a proper #FieldDiary tomorrow but suffice to say, today went even better than hoped. Instruments behaved, weather cooperated + our local hunter friend got us smoothly into the field. Looking forward to seeing what it all means now...

Thank you #NSF National Science Foundation for 75 years. 250 staffers were able to gather for a NON-OFFICIAL commemoration photo out to the west side of the building, May 20, 2025. Quite an effort by people who still do their best in the US at the federal level. Quite a story here, too.
