Hard to make sense of this strange year but here's some things I did and wrote, along with some thoughts for the coming year.
In January I testified to Congress on the importance of public access to information on oil and gas drilling on public lands--an issue that I hope will be prioritized in the coming years. blog.ucsusa.org/gretchen-goldm…
In February, I published a paper on the impacts of (one of the many) Trump air pollution protection rollbacks.
Even as the Trump era ends, I hope we continue to assess its impacts on people. Some of the harm will only be clear in the years to come. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

When the pandemic dropped the support network out from under me and every other working parent last spring, I felt compelled to do something about it. With @500womensci, I started advocating for employers and decisionmakers to better support moms in STEM. 500womenscientists.org/updates/2020/8…
COVID19 only worsened existing inequities in who can decide when and how to have children. In a year when many are waking up to racial injustice in the US, I wrote this @ScaryMommy piece asking my fellow white women to show up for reproductive justice. scarymommy.com/white-women-mu…
This year was the last of my efforts to fight dangerous Trump nominees to lead federal science agencies.
While the administration appointed many problematic people, there were others who didn't get the chance to do harm, thanks to the hard work of many. blog.ucsusa.org/gretchen-goldm…

In April, I published a paper on a @UCSUSA survey of federal scientists across 16 agencies. It shed new light on the state of federal scientific integrity under Trump and gave us a roadmap for areas that will need attention in a Biden Administration. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
This year, the EPA finalized its particulate pollution standards, ignoring science advice.
A disappointing end, but I was blown away by the number of scientists who defended science and process, donating time and expertise to protect public health. blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/w…

Fighting Trump policies for four years has been mentally taxing, but I am energized for the possibilities under the Biden administration on science, climate change, environmental justice, and everything else. Lots that can be done and we have a roadmap. blog.ucsusa.org/gretchen-goldm…
Lastly, I must include "the tweet" that landed me in everything from @NPR to @glamourmag to @GMA to @elpais, @htTweets, and @themainichi.
Here's to a more honest, less chaotic, safer, healthier, happier 2021. #HappyNewYear
