No softballs from the Capitol press corps today so the Governor returned the favor! ❄️ @ZavalaA @EytanWallace dodged the snowballs like pros. Can’t say the same for myself 💀

Pssst California's leadership, if you want state scientists to stay and do good science to deal with climate change, water issues, drought, pollution, fires etc... pay us fairly, respect us, and don't pull stupid shit that makes us regret working for you #ValueScientists
OOOF CA CNRA secretary choose late Friday on a holiday weekend to drop the news all staff will have a minimum of 2 days in the office per week AND @capsscientists lets us know the shitty terms of the Last Best Final Offer the state is forcing on us

Meanwhile state scientists, most of whom are women, have been fighting for equity for 20 years. @JenSiebelNewsom CalHR is breaking the law. #gc19827 forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser…
