We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Mississippians would love to have town halls with a member of Congress, especially since most of us don't get the opportunity to attend town halls with our own members of Congress.

Straight up political influence interfering with science. This cannot end well. Your grant didn’t get canceled yet? Maybe next time! If your research could show that the world isn’t upside down like Trump claims it is, you’ll be a target. We cannot have science contradicting the king.
