Thank you to everyone who stands with USAID. Share far and wide. Unfortunately we don’t have $40 million to buy up ads during the Super Bowl. Even if we did, we’d use it to support the U.S. economy while feeding kids around the globe.

Since some seem determined not to get it:
Arguing science shouldn’t be political is like arguing that ducks shouldn’t be waterfowl.
Sure, whatever floats your boat, but they wouldn’t be ducks then would they?
Science is a collective human effort at sensemaking—the very definition of political.

When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit.
Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention.
Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"
