Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. 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.

We’re in this mess in large part bc the average American is uninformed about fundamentals of civics, history, basic biology, economics, etc, and media and the internet are not meeting the moment.

Is anyone organizing teach-ins or similar for the general public, whether irl or online?

A group calling itself the 3rd Term Project is calling for a Constitutional Amendment to let Trump have a third term in office. This move is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. We should take it seriously. The man who would be king certainly does. joycevance.substack.com/p/speaking-t...
