Economic reporting could mislead one into believing that budget deficits are the most important challenge governments face. Its an excuse to curtail spending on necessary benefits, including health care, education, social security, climate action and more. Is it true that countries such as Canada and the US can’t afford these services?

Just finished this, and it's extremely great throughout.
I think the one reservation I have is that it's not a narrative that promotes an inclusive growth-mindset attitude towards who can be a scientist, but being a memoir that's perhaps more reflective of the (still changing) realities of federally-funded science than of how the author would like things to work.
I learned a ton of cool facts about plants, while also being taken on a deeply personal journey of human connection and survival in hostile environments. And Jahren is just actually a damn good writer, picking again and again, as she quotes it, words that skewer the heart.
