@shiningcypress77 had me grinning like an idiot at the gym yesterday 😁 • But this is why I do it. I believe all scientist has a responsibility to engage with the public (so we can avoid situations similar to Galileo and the pope). As a scientist, you often find that you disturb the status quo, and if there is anything that history has taught us, is that when one or a group of people goes against the status quo, the reception is less that positive (that was the nicest way I could say that, but there’s a good chance you could die). But by engaging with the public, I believe you can mitigate this negative response and at the same time, enjoy public support while you make the world a better place. So I encourage fellow scientist to start a blog, engage, and I promise it’s pretty fun😊 • #genetics #science #scienceblogger #sciencenews #scienceisfun #sciencelover #sciencelife #genetic #geneticengineering #biology #molecularbiology #biochemistry #biochemist #chemistry #organicchemistry #microbiology #picoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/BuNgTojhRzb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2asokre0g8pz
