Newly minted license holder in San Francisco. Absolutely no idea what I’m doing. Would like to learn enough to be helpful in an emergency.
No, this is not a vanity call sign but the CYA is kind of perfect so I think I’ll keep it.

Scientists at U.S. weather forecasting agency ordered to get clearance before talking to Canadian counterparts
Travelling for international meetings or even joining a call with Canadian counterparts has become impossible for some #USGovernmentScientists, under new directives since U.S. President #DonaldTrump took office.
Canadian ecologist Aaron Fisk says he recently tried to set up a virtual call to discuss plans with American colleagues, including a government scientist, around sampling fish.
"We tried to have a quick meeting with one of our collaborators … and they were denied access," Fisk said.

Some U.S. government scientists have been told they can no longer travel for meetings or even join virtual calls with international counterparts, putting a hold on Canadian research and sending a deep chill across the scientific community.
Gizmodo is also sounding the alarm about the crazy plan to gut NOAA and privatize weather data/forecasts.

The idiotic plan to privatize weather data/forecasting in the US has been resurrected yet again.
If you care about the free, public availability of weather information in the US, contact your congresscritter today and vote accordingly in November.
