Some good and some bad news:
1) I’m going to be on a PBS special tomorrow called American Spring Live 8pm eastern- I’ll be investigating a black bear den and cuddling newborn cubs. Tune in! 2) I’ve just arrived on location for the show - in Oakland, MD on the border of West Virginia. Upon getting off the highway I was greeted with a big house with a large front lawn and old tree. Hanging from the tree was an effigy of a lynched black man. Life sized.

Ok, ok. Deep breath. @sam_kean wrote a piece for @sciencemagazine about how European science was largely made possible by the #slavetrade. Sure. But the LANGUAGE IN THIS PIECE is irresponsible and it hurts!!! A thread...sciencemag.org/news/2019/04/h… "At the dawn of the 1700s, European science seemed poised to conquer all of nature." Opening sentence. What?! All of nature? 1700s? What about all of the science that had been done for the thousands of years before that by non-Europeans? What does "conquer all of nature" mean?
