It was an honor to meet with @AAAS Fellow Alex Halvey in the office of Sen. Martin Heinrich in support of $11.9B of funding for the U.S. National Science Foundation. Natl Science Fdn. funding is critical for getting undergraduates into sci careers and fuels interdisciplinary research at Univ. of New Mexico! #AIBSCVD2023

Through the Am Soc Mammalogists Student Science Policy Award and American Institute of Biological Sciences, I met with my New Mexico legislators Rep. Melanie Stansbury, Senator Ben Ray Luján, and Martin Heinrich this week to advocate for U.S. National Science Foundation funding and biological collections. #AIBSCVD2023
