It's easier to cut funding from people you don't know... let our public + gvt feel more of our science research lived experiences by joining the #MClintockLetters effort in local media. She'd like that, I know, remembering her as my beloved mentor in grad work at @cshlaboratory.bsky.social.
Scientists, tell your story in a LOCAL HOMETOWN PAPER op-ed, to publish on June 16! #McClintockLetters #saveNSF We have to move the needle on public perception.

Fight this attack by sharing how we serve the public with fed dollars, & insights into fed funded research. tinyurl.com/McClintockLetters
