Nice for me: Amazon just picked The Explorer's Gene as one of its Best of the Month selections. Nice for everyone else: they just cut the price. 26% off the hardcover and 51% (!) off the ebook. Won't get better than this! US: https://t.co/q7s1ZcO9I2 Can:

Scientists and doctors (and anyone who cares about these institutions)..if you were on the fence to vote, maybe this will jolt you. When they say "reorganization" they mean...gutting and controlling based on opinion/political reasons, not actual facts or science.
BREAKING NEWS🚨🚨: @RobertKennedyJr just announced that President Donald Trump has asked him to lead the reorganization of @CDC, @NIH, @US_FDA, & parts of the @USDA.
