Picture of a salamander laying on a rock with green moss. The salamander is dark brown on the top of its body and yellow on the bottom. It has big black eyes that stre into your soul.

"Hey! What are you looking at?" 😂

Standard schnauzer with a salt and pepper coat with splooting on the floor, with his butt facing you. He was the cutest little dimples on his butt, and is turning his head towards you with a smile.

Excerpt from the CalMatters article on the economic realities of many CA state scientists, and why we strike. #ScientistsStrikeBackcalmatters.org/environment/...

One state scientist who asked that her name not be used because she was concerned about retaliation said with her current pay, she can’t afford childcare for her kids as she juggles parenting and work for the state’s pesticide regulators, despite her PhD. She also said the lack of a fully-paid family leave program meant she was back at work part-time on a Monday, after giving birth on a Friday. 

Kaylynn Newhart, an environmental scientist who has worked for the state for more than 30 years and hopes to retire soon, said she lives paycheck-to-paycheck and doubts she’ll be able to stay in California after she retires.
