The administration is terminating leases for 11 OSHA offices, including the one in Houston. Trump has cut 10 percent of its workforce, and more layoffs could be coming.

NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS)
has been a small-but-mighty source of world-changing scientific research for more than a half-century.
NASA scientists first moved into the building,
which another federal agency leases from GISS’s institutional partner, Columbia University, in 1966.
Last month, at the behest of the Trump administration,
NASA officials told GISS it had to move out before the end of May.
In response, more than 100 staffer…

NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies Faces Eviction under Trump Plan
Since 1966 NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies has been at the forefront of Earth and planetary science from its location in upper Manhattan. Now a Trump administration directive is ejecting its scientists to parts unknown

Learning to Diagnose Privately: DP-Powered LLMs for Radiology Report Classification
Purpose: This study proposes a framework for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) with differential privacy (DP) to perform multi-abnormality classification on radiology report text. By injecting calibrated noise during fine-tuning, the framework seeks to mitigate the privacy risks associated with sensitive patient data and protect against data leakage while maintaining classification performance. Materials and Methods: We used 50,232 radiology reports from the publicly available MIMIC-CXR …

Lonely Little Red Dots: Challenges to the AGN-nature of little red dots through their clustering and spectral energy distributions
Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal a previously unseen population of compact red objects, known as ``little red dots`` (LRDs). We study a new photometrically selected sample of 124 LRDs in the redshift range $z$ $\sim$ 3 - 10 selected from NIRCam coverage of the CEERS, NEP-TDF, JADES and JEMS surveys. For JADES, the NEP-TDF and CEERS, we compare SED models with and without AGN components and analyse the impact of an AGN component on the goodness of fit using the Baye…

MINDS: The very low-mass star and brown dwarf sample. Detections and trends in the inner disk gas
Planet-forming disks around brown dwarfs and very low-mass stars (VLMS) are on average less massive and are expected to undergo faster radial solid transport than their higher mass counterparts. Spitzer had detected C$_2$H$_2$, CO$_2$ and HCN around these objects. With better sensitivity and spectral resolving power, JWST recently revealed incredibly carbon-rich spectra from such disks. A study of a larger sample of objects is necessary to understand how common such carbon-rich inner disk regio…

On the concentration distribution in turbulent thermals
Turbulent thermals emerge in a wide variety of geophysical and industrial flows, such as atmospheric cumulus convection and pollutant dispersal in oceans and lakes. They form when a volume of buoyant fluid, arising from thermal or compositional density differences, is instantly released from a source. As they rise or sink, heat and mass transfers are likely to occur with the surrounding environment, spanning multiple scales from macroscopic entrainment of ambient fluid to microscopic diffusive …
