A genuine outrage that should infuriate ALL Americans: The Trump administration has just thrown the National Science Foundation out of its own headquarters. A very clear demonstration of their determination to destroy American science. eos.org/.../national-s…...

100 years later, the Scopes "Monkey Trial" still matters. I was happy to provide a few comments about the current state of affairs for All Things Considered on NPR: npr.org/player/embed/n…

NCSE's Deputy Director Glenn Branch was quoted in The Tennessee in an article reflecting on the Scopes trial and why it still matters a century later. ncse.ngo/ncses-branch-t… #ScopesTrial

Some of the most terrifying / exhilarating moments of my life involved trading barbs with Stephen Colbert. His razor-sharp wit was amazing & entertaining. But not to CBS. They cancelled Colbert today - right after he criticized them for their $16M "deal" with Trump. Cowardly.

Very sad to learn of the death of Tom Lehrer. The NY Times cited "The Vatican Rag" as being his most controversial song. Supposedly it was anti-Catholic. But I and every Catholic I know just loved it! YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=pvhYqe…

How stupid to say, "Let's NOT USE the most effective tool we have to prepare for the next pandemic"? How foolish to decide, "Let's NOT RESEARCH new ways to fight cancer and disease?" How sad that this guy is supervising the utter destruction of American biomedical science.

Exactly. Operation Warp Speed energized a technology that took years to develop and enabled highly-effective vaccines to bring the pandemic under control. All credit to Trump for this achievement! But now Bobby K is undoing it? Does the Dear Leader understand what's happening?

This is the 100th anniversary of the Scopes trial and the 20th anniversary of the Kitzmiller "Intelligent Design" trial. I spoke about the trial and the events leading up to it in this talk in July at the Vanderbilt Scopes symposium. youtube.com/watch?v=6Ovjsa…

RFK's decision to abandon efforts to develop new mRNA vaccines nothing less than "a National Security Crisis." This is nothing less than self-inflicted scientific suicide of the nation that has led the world in science for more than half a century. washingtonpost.com/.../covid-bhat…

Wow! Trump sure got tough with Putin on Friday! Hey, MAGA-folks: are you proud today of the deal-making ability of our Dear Leader? "TACO" never seemed more appropriate than it does today.

They say the first casualty of war is Truth. Here's a perfect example - an attempt to browbeat a university and an independent researcher to "erase" research findings because they are not liked by those with access to political power. #climate #MAGA

The very people we need to cope with the next pandemic challenge have now been driven from the CDC. The Trump/RFK administration is doing everything it can to make America safe, not for Americans, but for infectious disease. Utter insanity!

A new Covid strain is spreading, cases are rising, but Bobby's dismantling of the vaccine approval process means I'm not allowed to get the Covid vaccine in Massachusetts - even though I qualify on the basis of age and medical risk. Nice Work, MAGA folks! #MAGA #COVIDー19
