7.8: Why Do These Cancelled Science Grants Matter?

In this episode, Christina talks to Dr Gabriel Filippelli - one of the first scientists to have a running project canceled by the Trump administration. This fascinating interview reveals just how important internationally these American grants can be, and Dr Filippelli passionately describes this unprecedented attack on science and education and what we all lose when the work that scientists do grinds to a halt or is extremely politically curtailed. It's important, he tells us, to support the institutions that you care about and are vital to the continued knowledge of how to survive our climate-changed future.

Dr Filippelli is the Chancellor’s Professor of Earth Sciences at Indiana University Indianapolis and the Executive Director of the Indiana University Environmental Resilience Institute. He works at the junction between biogeochemical cycles, climate change, and human health.

Dr Filippelli has also written the book Climate Change and Life: The Complex Co-evolution of Climate and Life on Earth, and Beyond, which explores Earth's ecological resilience to the great changes in climate that have occurred over the history of the Earth. He was also part of the driving force behind Climate Change and Resilience in Indiana and Beyond, which details local efforts to reduce the risks and lessen the harmful impacts of climate change, as well as prepare for the unavoidable consequences of climate change.

Welcome to Joy's House! · A No Kings Day Reid: American fascism ... American resistanceBy Joy-Ann Reid

Every relationship has an end to its honeymoon period, after which you either find a middle ground and make love or stand your ground and wage war. This relationship (the President Musk and Lady Trump marriage) was never meant to stand the test of time.

I love how Trump "doesn't have the time" to go through all the individual deportation cases and make sure people are in the US illegally before deporting them, but he apparently does have time to fight tooth-and-nail to make sure wrongfully deported Latinos get deported even if a judge tries to block it.

www.joyannreid.comA Saturday Reid: Everything Trump touches diesFrom conservative political parties around the world, to McDonalds, America's global reputation and U.S. Christianity, Donald Trump is ruining everything.

FDR after winning in a landslide: "I got a mandate from Heaven, and that means I have a duty to take care of the American people."

Trump after winning by 1.5%: "I got a mandate from Heaven, and that means I can do whatever I want."

Just think about the stark difference between these two people and their mentalities.
