We are going to lose an entire generation of scientists. NSF, one of the largest federal funder of STEM education has seen an 80% reduction in funding, including support for trainees, so far this year. “You can’t have science without scientists”

On this day, Rachel Carson’s birthday, we honor the legacy of a scientist whose foresight changed the course of environmental history. Long before it was widely understood, Carson warned of the hidden costs of #pesticides — and her words still resonate today.

"An independent agency that investigates chemical disasters — including fatal fires and explosions at chemical plants and oil refineries nationwide — would shutter by October 2026 under little-noticed language in White House budget documents released Friday."

I'm blown away by this brilliant review from The American Scholar. It begins by likening THEY POISONED THE WORLD to Rachel Carson's SILENT SPRING, which gave rise to the modern environmental movement, and goes on to call my book a "masterly exposé" and "critical reading for us all."🙏

BEST OPENING LINE TO A STORY THIS YEAR: "Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s alliance took off like one of SpaceX’s rockets. It was supercharged and soared high. And then it blew up." Bravo, AP News. 10/10, no notes.
