When Scientific American endorsed Harris, many scientists and science-friendly people were supportive and grateful, but some said: stick to science, science isn’t political, etc. But reality-denying right-wing fanatics will absolutely come for the scientists www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

Folic acid was discovered by U. of Texas biochemist, Roger J. Williams. Williams was very active in the libertarian movement of the 1950s and believed that because each individual was biochemically unique, libertarianism had a biological basis. Fun fact! archive.org/details/free...
