I published my first letter-to-the-editor as part of the McClintock Letters initiative! Flyer about the McClintock letters from To change minds, we need to reach people with our message. A group of graduate students came up with the idea to encourage scientists to publish letters in local newspapers in towns where they have a connection. The goal was to reach people outside of our academic bubbles. If you work at a university or a scientific institute, chances are that all your colleagues agree with you that NSF, NIH and NASA are important and should not lose their funding. https://abetterscientist.wordpress.com/2025/06/23/i-published-my-first-letter-to-the-editor-as-part-of-the-mcclintock-letters-initiative/
