Scientists are increasingly confronted with criticism and the political dimension of their work. However, history suggests that not all criticism is the same. Some movements that have challenged #scientific authority have ultimately driven social & scientific change. Should we revisit them today? 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬

Science is increasingly facing criticism and political scrutiny - but not all criticism is the same.

I discussed eating my grandma on a starship in the name of extreme recycling—on TV!

Nana watched.

She called.

Let’s just say: not a big fan of circularity
