I wrote a letter to the editor about the risks of cutting federal climate-related science funding. I've found myself writing quite a few over the last few weeks, but this is the first one that's been published. If I can do it, so can you!

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

This is really good. A lot of you will be looking for something tangible you can do to protect those who are targeted by state kidnappers. I really like the idea of neighborhood ICE watches.
