On Bill Gates saying we should shift away from stopping emissions and focus on taking care of people. That's hospice right? The planet is dying and he's suggesting we make humans comfortable while it happens...

Scientists do not make their research choices politically, they follow the data. The right only sees good science as leftist indoctrination because they've made their entire platform about denying reality and by default that puts science to the left. In reality, science is, by default, the middle

Steal clean air and water, and natural resources that benefit the mind and body from the poor. Because only the rich deserve such luxury. Make sure the resources are scarce enough that they are forced to rely on you for them.

The consequences for cuts like these and others by this sham HHS led be a maniac never fall on people within their social class. They don't see consequences to their actions, they can't think of a thing hurting them so "it must be harmless" and the regulations just get in the way

Scientists love to debate and argue, but if there are 3 things every scientist absolutely agrees on, it's that: 1. Climate change is real 2. Vaccines work 3. Those are NOT dire wolves 😤 🧪

Unfortunately, this might be the best option at this point. We are already falling swiftly behind the rest of the world with more harm on the way. It's a balance between what good can we do here vs. how much can we take and that keeps tilting in the wrong direction

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Women are credited less in science than men - Nature
The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.
