I'm very sorry to hear that. I've loved biology since I was a child, and my graduation in biology only fueled that love even further.

What it did not fix however was the absolute dread of seeing the natural world a hair strand away from collapse. You'd think some professor would offer you calming words or a path to the future, but guess what, even the top experts are just as panicked as we are.

My dread got way worse after going to college for biology because every class tells you how fucked things are and can point to the science that proves it.

The worst is when family or friends try to tell you “Things won’t be that bad.” No, if anything it’s going to be worse, because we’re doing fuck all to turn things around.
