One of my professors told me that when Bush II came to office the NSF was told that it could no longer fund grants that mentioned the word “evolution”. Of course there was also the ban on any research using embryonic stem cells. I find the former incredibly hard to believe as someone interested in evolutionary…

I audibly gasped when I saw this pop up. She was so adept at her job as an anchor and a journalist, especially in this age when journalism is so clickbaity and media is so mistrusted. On the bright side: She left us just before Trump was sworn into the presidency.

Yeah but the problem is he isn’t Democrat and he isn’t Republican. He’s Stupid. :(

my scream is harmonizing with your scream

Even in this article the PETA response is a mishmash of emotional fluff. Saving charismatic endangered species is no controversial stance, but talk about developing GMOs to decrease pesticide use, using lab animals as models for human disease, or shooting invasive goats to save island ecosystems, and they’ll drown…

Did you even read the article? The president of LSU uses that very excuse to justify LSU’s continuing sourcing of tigers from these places. Even if they are accepting these tigers as donations, that acceptance is basically a validation of the existence of these zoos, even an endorsement. That’s why it is frowned upon…

I think(?) my high-school aged brother was yelling this at me last week, I instantly realized that it was yet another meme that I won’t be bothered to find out about, because I am old and spent of my youthful energy.

Is that where I go, as I’ve heard is custom over at Jezebel, “yaaas queen”?
