Not sure who needs to hear this, but #science cuts don’t just affect researchers.
They ripple out to the food we eat, the air we breathe, the safety of our water, and our health.
This is personal for you. Me. All of us.
@Sheril I've noticed something interesting. Among many people -- and a huge amount here in America in particular -- people think of science as if it was a religion. They're taught to basically pick and choose what they believe about a religion from an early age. But science is just a process of observing and cataloging the laws of reality. It doesn't care about how someone *feels* about a fact. A fact is a fact.
And facts affect everyone whether they like them or not.
