NY Times Op-Ed on HR 669: Info Requested
GrrlScientist is preparing an Op-Ed piece for the New York Times about HR 669. If you do research or conservation work on exotic species that would be negatively impacted by this bill, she would like to include that in her editorial. She needs, within the next day:
A statement that includes (1) their research species (2) a basic
description of their work and (3) how HR 669 will negatively impact
their work. They can include anything else they wish to say, but their
response MUST have those three details so i can use them in my
writing.The identities of all who respond will be kept strictly confidential
UNLESS the respondent says otherwise.
Please email me or comment here and I’ll pass her contact info along.
