Wednesday, Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson and NASA head Charles Bolden presented speeches on the importance of science funding in our country to the U.S. Senate Committee of Science. Only 4 out of the 25 members of the Senate Science Committee even bothered to show up

If you’re not going to be present when two of the most influential people to the STEM fields are there to present their 5 minute speeches, maybe you shouldn’t be on the damn Senate Science committee. I hope every one of those senators loses their job

A note, a signpost on our road to either Our Downfall or Our Intellectual Rebirth. Our choice.
