SpaceX rocket cargo project puts Pacific seabirds in jeopardy
A project proposed by Elon Musk's SpaceX and the U.S. Air Force to test hypersonic rocket cargo deliveries from a remote Pacific atoll could harm the many seabirds that nest at the wildlife refuge, according to biologists and experts who have spent more than a decade working to protect them.

A reminder to US scientists: yes, your research is at risk. It's terrifying. But these efforts are systematically targeting programs meant to broaden access to science. This is the time to check in with BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, and international students and colleagues in your departments.
