When this is over, a major new era of American investment in scientific research is critical. It used to be something we did and were proud of, then diminished as we put short term private profit over long-term public good. #repairamerica

You see the signs in progressive candidates who support those kinds of policies - and there are many. But if people don’t support those candidates then it simply doesn’t happen.

For a brief moment I thought that the pandemic shined a light so bright on America’s failures that it couldn’t be ignored by those currently in power. I so hoped that they would be moved to implement a course correction but that’s not happening. It’s hard not to lose faith.
