This is making me think.
If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:
Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

Let me remind them: they took an oath to the Constitution, not to Trump—and map manipulation is voter suppression.
