If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

This is one of my favorite tasks— a collaborative, iterative drawing where students analyze a water pollution case study through gradual release of information. Mainly, it’s fun. ❤️

I want to stress I am not talking about your political nemeses here. I am not talking about the adversary.
I am talking about the deeply mediocre, median dunce who is primarily a benefactor of society without any intentional contribution to it or, really, much intentionality about anything.
