We are heartened by this call to action in Nature, one of the most respected journals in science. It urges the global scientific community to speak out on behalf of those being censored and support research as the US government shifts away from its historic leadership

The concept of the “extinction of experience” has been used to describe the dwindling human connection with nature, often applied to the general public.
But ecologists themselves are not immune. Across universities and research institutions, field-based studies are in retreat.

What does US tax money (via #NSF research grants) pay for?
Example:
I employ 3-5 UG researcher in my lab w/NSF $$.
- They quit jobs in retail,
- Spend more time in scientific spaces,
- Gain confidence,
- GPAs rise,
- They graduate and join the workforce,
... and we get competent geoscientists.
