Le then says she didn't receive proper training, and that there are only four AUSAs working on habeas petitions (they're so screwed). Earlier she said she'd shadowed other attorneys for about 3 weeks and that "when you showed up, they just throw you in the well and then here we go."

Excited to hear this. I am hopeful that
@neilshubin.bsky.social will bring a new approach to the NAS, in which they center scientists across the spectrum instead of just the elite and speak out strongly against the anti-science views of the current Administration!
