1. Growing up on a farm, I learned from my parents about the large bees we called mangangava. But in college, when I gave a prentation about tho bees, I didn't mention their familiar name; instead I ud formal terms when describing their adaptations for pollinating（授粉）. I was afraid of being judged for expressing my personal knowledge in a science class. But when the instructor presd me to tell the class whether I'd en the bees mylf and what I called them, my views and my whole career path began to change. I realized my background was valuable, and that my calling was to help educate others like me.
My parents worked on a small farm and I often helped out when I was not in school. They had a clo relationship with nature, something they learned from my grandparents and pasd down to me. This was why I became interested in biology.
In college, I joined a ries of labs to gain rearch experience, but my interest in pursuing a career as a scientist began to wane after I realized my rearch was not helping poor peo
ple like my parents. As a black student from a rural community, I also felt out of place in most class. The feeling of not belonging circled in my head. I sometimes thought about giving up.
My instructor's request that I share my knowledge of the mangangava bee changed my view. She saw that tapping into my personal experiences would help me grasp the scientific concepts. No other professor had shown that kind of nsitivity, which helped me realize I did have a place in higher education and that I didn't need to hide who I truly am.
I'm now a master's student in education, working on a project that explores the connection between science and traditional knowledge. I don't think I'd be here if I hadn't crosd paths with my instructor. We need more educators and scientists like her—people who can rve as role models and know that the best way to nurture new scientists is to allow students to be themlves.

2. It cost $1,000 for Patricia Qasimah Boston to fly from Tallaha to Washington and stay in a hotel. She traveled 800 miles for a three-minute appearance at a public hearing held Tuesday by the Council on Environmental Quality, a White Hou agency that recently propod to weaken the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
NEPA was signed into law in 1970 "to create and maintain conditions under which man and nature can exist in productive harmony, and fulfill the social, economic, and other req植树标语
uirements of prent and future generations of Americans." It's imitated around the globe by nations hoping to protect public health as well as plants and animals.
Boston, an environmental justice advocate, called the law "a bible" that protects communities across the country by allowing them to challenge the environmental impact of propod federal projects. Usually the council holds around nine hearings across the country so citizens can comment on policy changes. But this time, it held two.
Boston ud her brief time to make an appeal to keep the law intact (完好无损的). "The rollback will limit the ability of my community to know the health conquences of government actions," she said.
Activists and politicians who attended the hearing also denounced (谴责) the inadequate time for public comment and the sharply reduced opportunities for citizens to speak out about a significant public policy change.
Corporate trade reprentatives who support the propod changes to NEPA echoed Inte
rior Secretary David Bernhardt's opinion that the law caus unnecessary delays that hold up projects by an average of four years. "The conquences of the government being stuck in place are far-ranging. The reality is that the needless red tape has, over time, lowered the expectations of American excellence. And that is backward," Bernhardt said in January.
"But carving away vital provisions (规定) in the law is unacceptable," said Christy Goldfuss, who chaired the council for two years. "This change will silence communities that could be harmed the most by federal actions," said Goldfuss.
