I couldn't agree more @jpflores.rbind.io! Continuing to do the scientific work that means the most to us is powerful resistance.

How does JP Flores stay motivated to work in science advocacy when science funding is cut, DEI programs are terminated, and scientists are being let go? He thinks about the next generation of scientists and how we need to fight for the future of science. 👩🏽🔬 🧪 🔬

I loved talking with JP (@jpflores.rbind.io‬) for the latest Big Biology episode! He gave me a lot of hope and motivation to help fight for the future of science. The enthusiasm and conviction he brings to everything is infectious!
