Scientific institutions must react when science is under attack Given the escalating attacks on science in the U.S., it is imperative that scientists take a stand to defend their discipline

My friend Michelle and I have an an annual tradition of choosing Christmas songs and posting them on Facebook each day. It is more chaotic than that, but that’s the gist. Going to try it here.
