Mark Wieczorek<p>In response to the Trump executive orders, the Lunar and Planetary Institute (<a href="https://solarsystem.social/tags/LPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LPI</span></a>) is removing abstracts from previously held meetings that used to be archived on their website.</p><p>Here is an example of one that was removed from the 2025 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (<a href="https://solarsystem.social/tags/LPSC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LPSC</span></a>).</p>

After a "random" control at the border, the police searched their phone and computer and found compromising statements about Trump. </p><p><a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2025/03/19/etats-unis-un-chercheur-francais-refoule-pour-avoir-exprime-une-opinion-personnelle-sur-la-politique-menee-par-l-administration-trump_6583618_3210.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">lemonde.fr/international/artic</span><span class="invisible">le/2025/03/19/etats-unis-un-chercheur-francais-refoule-pour-avoir-exprime-une-opinion-personnelle-sur-la-politique-menee-par-l-administration-trump_6583618_3210.html</span></a></p>

Not much came out of <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/Athena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Athena</span></a>, obviously, and they're still trying to make contact with the Lunar Trailblazer - no indication of the hope level ...</p>
Mark Wieczorek<p>Its official. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/PlanetaryScientists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlanetaryScientists</span></a> did not migrate to mastodon. The first day of the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference is almost over and there are only about 5 posts on <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a>, but hundreds on the site owned, run and censored by a sociopathic LGBTQ+phobe (among other things). Apparently, its business as usual for early career scientists that use social modia. 😞 <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LPSC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LPSC</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LPSC2023" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LPSC2023</span></a></p>
