Racist and sexist roots in the cancellation of NSF grants under Trump: Grants with female PIs canceled 2x more than men Grants with Black PIs canceled 4x over White PIs Grants with Hispanic PIs canceled 2x over White PIs Grants with PIs with disabilities canceled 2x more than without

The people of the United States deserve the good science brings. #standupforscience #standupforscienceslc

After 1,000 National Park Service employees were abruptly fired on February 14, staff banded together to signal “dire distress” by draping an upside-down American flag from the 3,000-foot summit of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan monolith.

I’m running for Governor of New Mexico. In Congress and as Secretary of the Department of the Interior, I've fought for our state. Now, it's time to tackle our toughest challenges with the fierceness only New Mexicans know. Join me. youtu.be/rYKORMUch5Y?...
