So grateful for everyone who’s helped with recovery efforts since the MSL fire almost 2 months ago! It takes a village!
From mud collected in Antarctica to mangrove soil scooped up in Tampa Bay, specimens are resurfacing at a USF lab that burned down in May.
But it may be a while before vital scientific equipment is restored.

As many know, there was a massive fire at USF CMS. The building held offices, labs, equipment, etc and is a total loss. We are most concerned about the finanpcial losses of our students. Please consider donating to the official go fund me supporting our graduate students.

A rule of thumb for tsunamis is that in open ocean, they move at similar speeds to commercial airliners. If you're ever curious how long it would take for a tsunami to get from one place to another, look up the duration of a similar-length flight.

There will be a huge loss to the training of new researchers, loss of opportunities to create new knowledge, loss of innovation and all of this will be very hard to measure.
I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.
