Herb Masters Greetings Science Appreciators, Critical Thinkers and Science and Reason based Skeptics, The challenge of understanding the meaning, intent, and consequences of what we face these days is immense.

Hello Science Fans, I hope that you have thought about whether anti-science is worth considering or worrying about. From battles over the efficacy and safety of vaccinations, to dangerous or useless medical practices, to regulations not based on science, that can lead to injury or death there are a lot of challenges to getting through the day, week, month, or year.
