There's no better way of communicating the insane trajectory of humanity in the 21st century than cartoons and no-one did it better than Jon Kudelka. Rest in power Jon.

Sadly this is still true - I used to use this in my sci comm lectures to illustrate the challenges of being heard

There's cavernous and growing gap between scientists' recommendations and government action.
Scientists need to take direct action rather than just talk at lecterns!

6 years and 300+ experiments later, I've concluded that sequencing all the viruses going through my house is actually slightly useful, while still wildly impractical of course!

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science.
Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics".
Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about".
We need to sound the alarm.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
