If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

The BSA is using reserve funds to support this year's cohort, who are in the middle of making travel plans for the summer's Botany meetings.
If you are able, please donate to the Human Diversity Fund - $ raised will be used to help support this program moving forward. crm.botany.org/makeadonation
