We are witnessing a full-blown war on public health from the Trump Administration.
History will not look kindly on those who stayed silent in the face of this assault on science.

Intelligence depends on more than cognitive horsepower. It requires cognitive flexibility.
The faster the world evolves, the greater the cost of rigidity. Stubbornness is a path to getting trapped in the past.
