American antiScientists stamps
Back in May, I posted about the US Postal Service's cool new American Scientists stamps honoring the likes of Richard Feynman and Barbara McClintock. Responding to the current anti-science tide in this country, Stay Free! has issued their own series of American Scientist stamps. From the Stay Free! Daily post:
Link (via the f blog)While standing in line at the post office, I saw this new series of stamps devoted to American scientists...which is kind of ironic considering how our sciences are now under attack from all corners: from evangelicals to pharmaceutical marketing, educational declines, and funding cuts. It's like singing "Happy Birthday" to a man as he's being taken away on a gurney...
And with that we bring you an updated version of American Scientists. (We know God isn't precisely "American," but try telling that to the evangelicals...)
