It’s a rough time to be a scientist.
You spend decades learning how to measure things properly.
How to separate signal from noise.
How to distinguish hazard from risk.
And then you open your phone and watch fear beat data - again and again and again.
In the lab, we argue about controls, concentrations, confidence intervals.
Online, people argue about screenshots, podcasters and blogs.
This little molecule in my hand?
The dose matters.
Exposure matters.
Evidence matters.
Being a scientist today means doing more than running experiments.
It means explaining, clarifying, correcting - over and over and over again.
So yes - it’s a rough time to be a scientist.
But it’s also the most important time to speak up.
