RIVER MONSTERS of #GarWeek! What’s it like catching (and releasing) GIANT Alligator Gars with USFWS Fisheries & GarLab? We set special nets, quickly secure & bring gars on board, then to shore for data collection Whole process takes 5-7 minutes ➡️ fish are released safely

This is NOT hyperbole. This IS the anti-science administration. “Cutting the rate to 15% will destroy science in the United States.” “This change will break our universities, our medical centers and the entire engine for scientific discovery.” npr.org/2025/02/10/nx-…
