Well, word from today's lab meeting is thanks to the executive orders being issued, two of our projects for this year (working with NPS and National Forests) are now on indefinite hold. Grants were awarded, funding set, but it's all walked back now. This is how far these EO's are already reaching via "trickle-down effect" just four days in. We always figured we would get caught up in it; how swiftly it has happened is a bit shocking.
All we do is study caves and wildlife. Something that is generally very bipartisan - protection of and access to wild spaces. Feel free to use this as a talking point with those you know. You are more likely to sway people with common ground basis, than with arguing facts.
