Congress’s Science Committee Doesn’t Get Science

I’m not in the business of injecting unnecessary political controversy into the science world, but let this serve as a reminder that entrusting the future of science to people with no understanding of science can lead us nowhere but backwards.
It’s in your hands. Envision a future full of wonder, created by science, and then demand that it comes to pass.
Are we curious humans or fearful ostriches?
