Update: I was fired. I loved working at ORNL's Climate Change Science Institute and am devastated, but am also more determined and hopeful than ever. We have incredible power to affect change together.🌱

I still plan to continue with both research & activism, to the extent possible.

To my wonderful colleagues: My temporary affiliation is LSCE. Please use my personal rather than my work email, which I no longer have access to. Thank you for all of the support so far ♥️

I knew that I could face retaliation, but inaction during this critical time will have far greater consequences.

You are a scientist in a society increasingly populated by science deniers and other similar idiots. You are, by definition, an activist in that you put thought into actions.

I was an activist in the seventies, thinking green and living it. Now I'm just trying to keep my health and understand love. My daughter strives to make sense of the biomass and maintain herself as a human being and a medical professional.
