How do we move from "science for" to "science with" the community? 📍
@theAGU Thriving Earth Exchange director Liz Crocker, Maria Uhle (@FutureEarth @Belmont_Forum), and Amanda Borth are live discussing community-led climate solutions.

The Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research is senseless and dangerous.
It would weaken weather forecasting, climate research, and the science that keeps people safe. AGU urges the Administration to abandon this plan and protect NCAR — and all scientific institutions the public depends on.
Call Congress to #SaveNCAR today. agu.quorum.us/campaign/15156…
