More good news. Science trained people entering politics is way overdue.
@reggieformt.bsky.social is a scientist who works at Sunburst Sensors in Missoula, Montana. They make autonomous pH and pCO₂ sensors used by the oceanographic community. Reggie is running for office, and we definitely need more scientists in public office. Follow and support her if you can!
