My removal from #nasa #nyc continued afoot.
I haven’t said much of it here — but my competitive grant proposals (nasa scientists get funded this way since full cost accounting hit in 2004) have been chosen, but not funded.
There is no grant money to distribute. Folks in the know have seen that - ROSES, the acronym for research opportunities in science, does not have a 2025 call and the 2024 chosen post January 2025 don’t have money getting distributed.
If I cannot get proposals funded I will be in the same situation as every other soft money researcher.
So the soft RIF is coming for me and 1000’s of others.

Surprise, surprise.
This is not an industrial strategy.
Whatever it is, it isn't fit for the coming era of energy descent and ecosystem collapse.

Green roofs shown to capture nearly all microplastics from rainwater
A small team of researchers at Tongji University, working with a colleague from the Shanghai Academy of Landscape Architecture Science and Planning, both in China, has found that growing plants on roofs can serve as an effective way to remove microplastics from the air. In their study, published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, the group measured the amounts of microplastics found on plants and the soil in which they grow.
