“We’ve never backed a presidential candidate in our 175-year history—until now. This year we are compelled to do so. We do not do this lightly.”
I have nothing to add … except read the article.

I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'wouldn't it be much worse if life *were* fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?' So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe. - M. Cole

They’ve never made an endorsement before because there’s never before been a situation where one candidate and party was so frighteningly anti-science. In his case, it’s warranted.

However critical it may be, it is timely and good and encouraging. The scientific community, and all the institutions that involve, are under the most intense they have suffered for some time.

Awesome indeed! Now, I’m off to clear the dried trees from my lawn before the explode and start a fire.

No need to make such efforts. If a fire starts on your lawn, just declare it a hoax and leave it at that.

I would venture that Scientific American would endorse Jerry Lewis (and he’s dead!) if it meant Trump being ousted from office!

HEY!!! Jerry Lewis is alive and well! He’s living on a tropical island with Moe and Curly Howard and Larry Fine of 3 Stooges fame. PLEASE, get your facts straight. 🙂

If anyone loves and cares for at least THEIR OWN family members, immediate family members—own children, grandchildren, and parents!—and their spouse…
although in tRump’s case I just don’t see any sincere love or attachment to Melania as he was to Ivana and Marla too or they to him, Donny would probably toss aside any of his ex-wives and wife…
…then that intelligent voter or supporting/endorsing corporation, institution, organization MUST support the only candidate this November (as it was in 2016) with ACTUAL state and federal governing experience to be VP or President!!! It is truly the epitome of A NO BRAINER!!!! I mean, DUH! 🤦🏽♂️

Nan, one candidate says climate change is not only real, but an existential threat to our planet. That same candidate says we need to follow the science on our pandemic response.
The other candidate says climate change is a hoax and the science is not clear. He says ignore the doctors as they keep refining their guidance as they get more data. He also says his gut knows more than scientists’ brains.
It looks like the recommended the right one. I can see the future. “Scientific Amercian is a magazine for losers. No one reads that,” says the unendorsed candidate.
