Gulf of America.
Very early in my scientific career, before defence research, I was a research fellow in one of the Gulf coast marine research labs. They didn't excellent work, considering the paltry funding they received. Coming from the UK, I'd imagined it would be similar, where industry and academia work closely together in the sciences for mutual benefit. Where I was was home to most the world's top chemical companies plus the oil companies. One of the oil companies, the one with a religious symbol, gave an annual grant to the lab where I worked. In return, they asked for an Open Day, so the public could see how much they supported local marine research. The oil company actually had zero interest in the research projects. When Deepwater Horizon happened, one of the issues was no one had a good baseline of what the Gulf was like before, because there had been so little funding. Local people became very interested; the fisheries are very important to the local economies, both for commerical fishing, but also for the tourism it attracts. All of that was under threat. I'm pleased to say BP suddenly became very interested in the research these labs did. -

Notable changes President Trump is making since resuming office this year
Trumpflation, a beautiful word. “Consumer prices roared higher in January, driving inflation up to 3%,” CNN reported, calling it “the fastest monthly pace since September 2023.” Economists had expected inflation to come in at an annual rate of 2.9%. “Egg prices shot up 15.2% from December to January, the fastest increase that index has seen since 2015, according to the report,” CNN added. “They’re up 53% year over year.” The jump in inflation makes it far less likely the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates, which remain high as they try to battle inflation. The Associated Press reported on Wednesday, “the cost of groceries, gasoline and rents rose, a disappointment for families and businesses struggling with higher costs and likely underscoring the Federal Reserve’s resolve to delay further interest rate cuts.” . Trump has bragged that he won the election on his promise to lower the cost of “groceries.” “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one,” Trump said, as multiple news outlets, including The New York Post and CNN, have reported. But Trump appears to have done little to even try to bring down prices, including the cost of food. On social media, critics were quick to blame and blast the President. “Meat prices up 0.6 percent in January, egg prices up 15.2 percent. Too bad Trump is so busy doing corrupt deals with Musk and planning to take over Greenland and Gaza that he can’t pay attention to food prices,” remarked Dean Baker, senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. “Trump took office and inflation immediately went UP. But instead of fixing the economy, he spent his time banning DEI, renaming water, going to the Super Bowl and trying to put hotels on the Gaza strip,” observed frequent commentator Alex Cole, who has nearly 275,000 followers on X. “They’re calling it TRUMPFLATION. Beautiful word, maybe the best word. The most luxurious inflation—nobody does inflation better than me!” Cole also wrote, mocking Trump and his speaking style. -
