What the Story of #DDT, America’s Most Notorious Chemical, Can Teach Us Today
By Gosia Wozniacka
July 6, 2022"In How to Sell a Poison, historian of medicine Elena Conis traces the history of DDT, its impacts, and the implications of the shifting science. In a masterful narrative style that reads like a novel, Conis tells the stories of ordinary people and the nascent #EnvironmentalMovement that sought to expose the chemical’s harms. Her book offers insights about the mechanisms of #ScienceDenial, #DisinformationCampaigns, and the role of politics and other social forces in shaping a nation’s approach to regulating a toxic substance."

It's frightening that they decide #science & #medical #policies now! We're doomed! They'll start burning science #books soon, take us back to dark ages in no time, and get us all killed to satisfy their #pride and/or #greed.
So I call upon all sane people to collect good quality #STEM #books, seal them tight in capsules and bury them where these ghouls won't look. It might become the #treasure of life for the next-gen, if anyone survives.

Doug Burgum Now Has 90 Days to Hand Over the Boundary Waters to a Foreign Mining Company
For background, see this post.
This per curiam order dropped yesterday. The case before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals is held in abeyance until mid-October. The Court deferred to the Agency.
Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum now has 90 days to act on the findings of an “agency review” of the Twin Metals matter.
According to Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, the review was already “complete” by June 13th, which just happened to be one day after the Senate struck Stauber’s Boundary Waters giveaway from the budget bill (see the 13 June update to this post).
No surprise, Interior already determined (only a fool would think it had not decided well in advance of the review) that the 20-year Rainy River watershed mineral withdrawal put in place by the Biden administration was unnecessary.
Here is the order.

Climate denial and the classroom: a review
-
~8M humans in Washington state, 230 grey wolves.
We continue to debate "are there too many wolves?"
#ScienceDenial kicks in, of course.
"You have to remember this is the minimum and there are really good odds there are more wolves out there than they are counting. At the end of the day, we are way beyond what their quote-unquote management level was and they should be down-listed."
There are much better odds that this rancher is ignorant of how to count #wolves.

Something that seems like it's gone under the radar is #PBS shutting down their #deia program and firing the program management. This is an infuriating and disappointing move by PBS to choose #compliance in advance rather than #defiance. Every inch we give to the #fascists is an inch we may never get back. Hold strong and #resist. The #resistance is having an effect, #muskrat and co are not invincible and your efforts matter.
Please call your local station and send a message to PBS headquarters. Tell them you are unhappy with their decision to support an illegal #coup of #hate, #violence, and #sciencedenial #sciencedenialism. Media needs to remain independent and unafraid of #fascism, something the big media #corporations have seemingly forgotten.

#FloodingTheZone: Superior Other all ready for an NSF site review on a large grant today, only to find it (and all NSF meetings with grantees) cancelled until further notice.
"There's no difference between the parties." That's #ScienceDenial.
[NSF itself was notified at 6a ET-- as disruptively as possible, do note.]
[["NSF should just ignore!" Children, mortgages, etc. Walk in same shoes and then report back. "Just" is a short but big word.]]

I like "Professor Dave" on YouTube. He is arguably the most abrasive science communications person I've come across.
I don't know if he's doing any good in general, in terms of making people less credulous and more scientific, but he does go off on creationists and flat earthers, and I just love that.
Basically he gets to say out loud what I'm constantly thinking when faced with science denial.
It's not for everyone.
