You may ask. What gives me the right to speak for all of these? Who am I? I am a US citizen & taxpayer. I paid for all of this.
I paid for scientific research, public health, and clean air & water. I paid to aid those in great need all over the world, and for clinical trials and biotech startups.

I am Anna and I speak for the trees.
I speak for the #NSF that funds research on trees and trees dwellers.
I speak for my National Park Service & National Forest Service brothers & sisters, stewards of the trees, fired in the last weeks for daring to care for Americans lands. @altnps.bsky.social

My speech from #Chicago #StandUpforScience rally today. I wanted to write something that was about why I support science, not as a scientist myself, but as a citizen. This is dedicated to a dear relative, an arborist for the #NationalParkService. 🧵Photos from the rally in Chicago today by Mike Yen.

Devastated by layoffs in the National Parks and Forest Service. My brother has served in both #NPS and NFS, does the kind of work that is DOGEd. Here, scaling a dead tree to take the top off before cutting it down. Essential maintenance to protect park goers and contain fires. @altnps.bsky.social

Thrilled to announce that my lab has been awarded the Research to Prevent Blindness Career Development Award!
Now the lab has a *funded* opening for a post-doctoral fellow interested in studying neurodevelopmental disorders in the retina. More info here! www.vlasitslab.org/joinus
