As a scientist yes, I stand up for the right to openly access, produce and disseminate knowledge. But that’s not enough. Standing up for science alone feels like a privilege of the elite. And that isn’t what’s going to sink the ship or save us from drowning with it.

What I wish everyone were pouring all our indignation towards is the rapid uprise of an authoritarian government that is and will continue to take everyone’s but the richest of the rich’s rights away.

What I wish everyone—not just scientists and science enthusiasts—were standing up for is the dignity of human beings, the right to exist and make the best choices for ourselves and our children regardless of who we are.

Yes. This administration’s made clear attacks to “science” that are worth rallying for. But, it has done that in the context of a much bigger plan to further concentrate power in the hands of the highest top, leaving everyone behind, drowning in mud—with those who were barely afloat drawing faster.

Thank you!

Mike, you are too kind, thank you! I haven’t been able to bring myself to post much but I plan for a slow and intentional come back to social media in 2025.
