The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

My institute posted a request for proposals to lead a group focused on occular research. It's a good opportunity for someone ready to transition to independence or someone looking for a postdoc with private funding. Added bonus: ou get to be my neighbor!

Standing up for what is right comes with a personal cost, but gives us the world we want to live in. I am grateful for those who choose to do so across business, science, and government and hope that each of us can find the moral fiber to make similar choices when our time comes.
Erika Cheung spoke with Nature about working at Theranos and how blowing the whistle on the company and Elizabeth Holmes changed her career. “I’m still in shock how much this derailed my life.” 🧪
