Trump’s opacity with regard to his positions on science has propelled science advocacy to a new level of intensity.
Marching Into an Uncertain Future
If you saw what he did with the leaks and ‘fake news,’ why can’t you see what he has done with the controlled release of information. He got two conflicting representations of energy-dependent top-down causation concurrently published in Science.
1) Stem cell divisions, somatic mutations, cancer etiology, and cancer prevention
2) A conserved NAD+ binding pocket that regulates protein-protein interactions during aging
# 1 links “bad luck” to all virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA sans prevention.
#2 links energy-dependent changes from RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions in supercoiled DNA to the prevention of virus-driven energy theft and degradation of messenger RNA in all living genera.
During the same time, this game was developed and marketed via a “Kickstarter” campaign. Cytosis: A Cell Biology Board Game
A board game taking place inside a human cell! Players compete to build enzymes, hormones and receptors and fend off attacking Viruses!
Most Trump supporters may already know that teaching the next generation how to protect themselves from all virusd-driven pathology means it is “game over” for theorists.
Marchers who do not know that will be forced to deal with the game-changing end to their theories, including the one about “bad luck” and cancer. Billions of research dollars can be saved by funding only the research that links the National Microbiome Initiative to the Precision Medicine Initiative via epigenetically-effected metabolic networks and genetic networks in all living genera.
See for example:
The Bull Sperm MicroRNAome and the Effect of Fescue Toxicosis on Sperm MicroRNA Expression (2014)
Nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological adaptations: from atoms to ecosystems (2014)
This atoms to ecosystems model of ecological adaptations links nutrient-dependent epigenetic effects on base pairs and amino acid substitutions to pheromone-controlled changes in the microRNA / messenger RNA balance and chromosomal rearrangements. The nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled changes are required for the thermodynamic regulation of intracellular signaling, which enables biophysically constrained nutrient-dependent protein folding; experience-dependent receptor-mediated behaviors, and organism-level thermoregulation in ever-changing ecological niches and social niches. Nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological, social, neurogenic and socio-cognitive niche construction are manifested in increasing organismal complexity in species from microbes to man.

My comment: Will any of the sociologists wear pink “crotch” hats to the March for Science?
