Kate Marvel, a prominent climate scientist and author, has resigned from her position at NASA, according to reports. Marvel's departure comes amid what appears to be a significant exodus from federal science agencies.

According to available data, an estimated 95,000 people have left federal science agencies since President Trump returned to the White House. The scale of these departures represents a notable trend affecting multiple government departments and agencies.

Marvel had established herself as a well-known figure in climate science research and had gained recognition for her scientific writing and public communication work. Her resignation adds to concerns about staffing levels at key federal research institutions.

Meanwhile, separate reports indicate operational challenges at major U.S. airports, where long lines have been reported as Transportation Security Administration officers continue to resign from their positions. The TSA departures appear to be part of the broader pattern of federal employee exits.

The timing and scale of departures across different federal agencies has raised questions about government operations and service delivery. Both scientific agencies and security operations appear to be experiencing staffing pressures as the new administration begins its term.
