Zack Labe"One climate scientist, who declined to speak on the record out of concern that the administration might punish his institution, said the declining funding is forcing researchers to shrink their scientific ambitions down to a question of “What can I do with my laptop and existing data sets?”"

Different reasons, but coincidentally, “What can I do with my laptop and existing data sets?" is basically the title of the research project I'm writing for my tenure. It's also what I've been trying to do in the last few years and where I want to be heading. #frugalmodelling #frugalcomputing #degrowth 🐌
Of course, funding science, especially climate science, is vital! I'd just advocate for hiring more people and write smarter models, rather than using larger computers.
