🗳️🔬🧪🌏 #SB895 is being heard in the State Assembly TODAY. If passed, it would place a bond on the November ballot to fund critical scientific research in California, including climate and environmental science. Safeguarding #science has never been more important. Learn more: shorturl.at/11MOB
🐣🧪🌏🦉 Point Reyes #SnowyPlovers got an early start this year after spring heatwaves triggered the earliest nesting season on record. With the first chicks now hatching, beach closures are going into effect just in time to protect vulnerable nests and chicks. More from @sfgate.com 🗞️ shorturl.at/M5Ovx
