Narrator: it was not the last time.
Or you could say Scientific CONgress...
...
It took republicans a while to full dismantle everything. Their almost done now so, yay?
I want to help them build that wall, so we can keep them inside, and watch what happens when a government does everything opposite of good.
Also scientists today: Vaccines do not cause autism and actually work.

Sorry but due to new government policy it is illegal to study or even acknowledge weather
weather leads to climate, climate leads to fear...
Fear... leads to sOcIaLiSm!
You mentioned diverse weather conditions in your grant application, and we can't have that.
THIS ISNT EVEN AN EXAGGERATION.
We are so fucking cooked.
Well, while I agree that things are pretty shit and regressive, let's not downplay the achievements we've had in the past 10 years:
- Completion of The Standard Model of Physics with the detection of the Higgs Boson.
- mRNA technology, which is now a serious candidate for curing HIV, and is potentially capable of being used against most viral diseases.
- Imaging a black hole. Doing it again. Providing more proof of general relativity.
- Measuring gravity waves. Doing it as a normal measurement now.
- Salt batteries are finally reaching the market, which will eventually end the destructive mining and refinement of lithium.
- The James Webb Space Telescope, which was already making breakthroughs and creating new questions within the first 3 months of activation.
- Solar power becoming incredibly cost effective.
- Cybernetic limbs for the physically disabled. Yes, cybernetic limbs.
- Though overused; medication that effectively combats eating disorders.
These are just the ones I know from the top of my head.
I don’t want to downplay some of the amazing things in this list but i dint think the standard model of physics as made by humans can ever be completed.
What did happen is that something like HB must exists in order to make most of other things work. Now that we know HB is verifiably real we tied up a major loose end.
But there is still many stuff unanswered and a “complete model” would require constant revision.

Thank you. With all the awfull stuff going on the atm I tend to forget all the amazing things we humans still achieve.
Don't forget CRISPR-Cas9 allowing reliable and precise gene editing in living organisms.

Yes, the vaccines are... Are you feeding that baby unpasteurized milk?!? What the fuck, guys?

am I old or does nobody remember the name Dolly?
I seem to recall something about her working 9 to 5 and having an arch-nemesis called Jolene.
EDIT: Wait! Wait! I remembered! There was a sheep called Dolly who was a workaholic who had herself cloned to spend more time with her partner!
EDIT 2: Ok, I just did a web search. I was way off.

Internet was a mistake. It gave all the anti science people and crackpots a platform for their ideas.
Making it easy was the mistake, the internet was great when knowing what tcp/ip actually is was a barrier to entry.
Gatekeeping isn't a dirty word.
This also exposed just how many stupid people are out there. We all assumed that making infinite knowledge available would be the rising tide which lifts all boats; instead, the rising tide is a tsunami of idiocy and willful ignorance.
