The first #EarthDay in 1970 saw 20 million people take to the streets in the USA It led to the EPA, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act Now, more than ever, we need a mass movement for the living world

Happy Earth Day. Apparently we're now relying on the honesty of people, rather than federal regulations, to ensure the safety of food, air and water. That'll work out REAL WELL. We already know how much corporations self-police.

Had a political discussion today with a contractor; it's the kind of discussion that we academics need to have more often. Was he right about much? No. But it's insightful to hear somebody articulate what they think is true. We need to have these conversations with people "not like us." 1/?

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world. www.science.org/content/arti...

They will die believing they died for the cause. I'll never stop believing sources such as Fox bred this insanity. "Alternate" facts don't really exist and yet "what people believe is true is true in its consequences." Appalling. And yes, I'm aware of irony of using social media to express this.
