great because all my male ones are coming out with HA and the female ones are refusing to come out with the HA lol , give me a few mins and I ' ll add you and get online <| sep |> Working research , I feel no threat to my work or the work of anyone I know . If anything , some people I know are expecting an increase in budgets . I expect environmental science funding to get increased scrutiny . Unfortunate , but my attitude is bring it . Let ' s have a nice thorough and open discussion . The situation is an opportunity to win the public over . It requires more patience though . A republic is not going to be the fastest in responding to emergencies . It shouldn ' t be . An authoritarian can turn out major changes overnight . A democracy will require a generation . Also I feel it is an enormous mistake for scientists to try to get directly entangled in partisan politics . The letter feels like it crossed the line to my personal ethics . By bindings up environmental research with the Democratic Party , a loss of the party threatens the research . By trying to point to the new president as the problem , it burns out any chance of bridge building with his administration . This is extremely unwise . It is a symptom of the polarization of the parties and the public . It is a disservice to science and to the nation .
