Ecologist Goes to Washington Podcast Interview and Blog!

You may recall from one of my earlier blog posts (“PlayingCatchup”) that I went to D.C. for a few days in April to participate in the Biological and Ecological Sciences Coalition Congressional Visit Day to talk with members of Congress about the importance of federal funding for science. Well, after the awesome experience I wrote a blog post for the Ecological Society of America Blog, and I was also interviewed for the Ecologist Goes to Washington podcast that ESA hosts.

Here are the links if you're interested!
