It's unbelievable to me that the jobs of USGS scientists—who are essential to understanding and protecting fish and fisheries—are at risk. Their work is absolutely critical.

All of the USGS ecosystems folks I know are amazing scientists and humans. The Great Lakes and their fishes would be lost without them

🙏 We need your help 🙏

The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like.

We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants:

About 15-20 yrs ago, a bunch of reviews (inc. 1 by me) made predictions about the future of genomics in conservation. 1 yr ago at ICISB, Robin Waples assessed which of those predictions had been fulfilled. Sam May & Sam Rosenbaum now led the effort to turn this into a review:
