NSF LTER program “archived”. LTER=“Long Term Ecological Research”. This program has been incredibly successful, incredibly frugal for what they accomplish, and…of course…targeted by evil know-nothings. My heart is breaking.

What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”

Grad students & postdocs: how is funding uncertainty affecting you right now? SSE's GSAC is collecting anonymous input to inform advocacy and conversations at Evolution. Share your perspective by May 1, 2026 and pls RT!
