There are some really interesting things happening in the world of science.
Discoveries that could change everything for the better or point out dangers before they change things for the worse.
But the critical findings in research are currently in jeopardy of being silenced.
Anti-science political actions are dismantling research in America.
To the far right everything is part of a left-wing agenda including vaccines, research, science, math, and even muppets.
It is unclear if American science will survive the next few years. There is a real and frightening danger.
That we may not only lose our place as global leaders in research, but that it might be replaced by something far worse
Agenda-driven fake research will certainly be next put forward as if it were science
When that time comes, and it will be coming soon…
We will be here to hold the line
between the world of biased beliefs
