So sad to hear about Sheila’s passing. She was a brilliant native bee scientist, advocate, and mom, gone far too soon. The world feels smaller today.
Rest in power, Sheila. We’ll keep fighting for the wild things and for justice, as you did fiercely and with so much heart. 🐝🌻💛

One of my former students. I’m so proud, and so angry.
Yet another dedicated scientist and public servant, this time from US Fish and Wildlife, showing up unpaid after she was fired to volunteer to protect an endangered species.
What are we even doing here.

After Elon Musk Fired Her, She Kept Showing Up to Work—for Free
The billionaire and his followers are out to cull federal employees they think are lazy and overpaid. But without people like Bianca Sicich, the Attwater’s prairie chicken could go extinct.

The DOI fired 2,300 yesterday. These folks fight ever increasing wildfires, welcome visitors to our National Parks & Refuges & manage millions of acres of public lands for generations to use & to enjoy.
I'm here, for now. Sorry in advance as your public lands become lesser versions of themselves.
