@johnshirley2024 This is basically why I decided not become a biologist / ecologist after doing biology in undergrad 20 + years ago.

sunlitrain,

@johnshirley2024 I don't work in the fields but I studied and follow them. I struggle with this multiple times a day. Sadness.

@johnshirley2024 I have close friends who work in environmental and conservation science who are struggling with this right now
