Unpaid internships reproduce the class problem in conservation. I don’t blame individuals for taking them (though would encourage them to reflect on who can/can’t afford to do so). I do find organizations offering them problematic - it shows me their politics. But you already know all this :)

And this happens even in places where there are no free-living populations of the second species, and therefore no non-hybrid females of the other species!

Just focus on the yard work,
Block those worries from your head,
It’s time to turn the compost,
And put the garden to bed.

When frost is on the punkin
The Hoosier poet said
It’s time to turn the compost,
And put the garden to bed.

Quilt the surface with soft leaves
The soil is alive, not dead.
It’s time to turn the compost,
And put the garden to bed.

Thoughts about the heating bills
Are much better left unsaid.
It’s time to turn the compost,
And put the garden to bed.

Harvest the green tomatoes
‘Cause they will never turn red.
It’s time to turn the compost,
And put the garden to bed.

Quarry black, rich compost soil
Make sure that it is well-spread
It’s time to turn the compost,
And put the garden to bed.

Hey, I was an 'expert scientist' on National Geographic Paranormal: Blood Rain & Star Jelly. Here are my hands, looking all sciencey. Maybe I can be on this panel.
