“But what can I do about funding cuts to #science, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, SNAP, (every important issue)?” Call your reps & senators - and not just the ones you agree with. Reach out to GOP members! Tell them why you care. If enough of us do, they may too.

I hope Senator @johnfetterman.com and his team enjoy nonfiction books (or at least this one). Nearly everyone is either themselves afflicted with a brain or mental condition, or knows someone who is. We must do better for those individuals! To achieve that, we need federal support of science.
