2+ hours away, doesn't sound real close. More importantly, scientists are way to busy to be protesting.
They should be effective advocates for the proper use of their discoveries. Perhaps they could start with opioids.
I'm there often. Going up tomorrow to cut firewood.
Opioids have been awhile. The problem isn't with the discovers of opioid compounds, but the greedy pharma people who pushed excessive usages like corner boys.
Apparently the scientists have left some trees for you.
It seems that scientists would rather study the decline of the environment than save it.
Speaking as an observer for the need for local action I can tell you that science is doing little for the environment. As I said they are looking at the world through a microscope. They should get out more.
Aren't pharmacists and doctors also scientists?
That's the point: I am showing you how faith in God applies to your theory.
Your theory may be fine, I am not questioning that - I am saying if you want your theory to live, you will have to develop a working model.
So you think scientists should become lobbyists?
Close cousins?
They should control the use of certain of their discoveries, perhaps through contractual agreements.
I wouldn't sell someone a gun if I thought they were going to kill someone with it.

How would know that someone was planning kill someone with a gun you were going to sell them?
That runs contrary to the whole purpose of science and how science is done.

Most of them don't have the legal control over their discoveries. Their employers do.
Our esteemed old colleague AV1611 (I wonder where he is now?) used to go on in much the same vein about scientists as OWG. I needled him about it and said that it seemed to me that to him, anybody was a "scientist" who had finished high school and owned a pair of shoes. He found that amusing, but I wonder if OWG would think it so funny.
And not on scientists.
