When I worked to keep science denial out of schools, I worked with leaders at NAS to create resources so the public could understand why not everyone
claiming there’s a debate deserves equal scientific credence. We don’t “teach the controversy.” I’m happy to connect you with NAS staff who get this.

Just because someone has been confirmed to a government post by the Senate doesn’t mean they have credible or coherent ideas on scientific reform. Alas.

Just because someone is yelling things at scientists, or angry at the results science yields, doesn’t mean there is a scientific debate. Life evolves and shares a common ancestor. Climate change is caused by humans. Masks work. Apples don’t fall up. Vaccines are safe and effective. Eppur si muove.

Yes, I recall NAS has some excellent earlier work on this.
