Well said Emmanuel 🙂 I have worked with Hank at various times for many years so was a bit unsettled by Serge's email. I think all researchers in the US are under pressure from the new administration and we should be supporting all our colleagues irrespective of their affiliation! Best wishes from Italy!

NEON is (and has been) operated according to an NSF procurement system that is renewed every now and then, and the selected organization operates the observational network with their public money. NEON is a partner of ICOS and eLTER in the GERI initiative (already several years old) and we should be happy that the people working there are not civil servants like at NOAA... ;-) Sunny greetings from Brussels!

We should support our US colleagues working on public funds instead.
