Medicine without chemicals. Energy without nuclear power. People want agriculture without pesticides. And prosperity without industry. Apparently, the future runs on wishful thinking.

Your body produces formaldehyde. Your cells produce hydrogen peroxide. Your stomach produces hydrochloric acid. And you're worried because a shampoo contains chemicals?

I have a confession. After decades studying chemistry, I still don't know what a "chemical-free" product is supposed to be.

Not a bot. I’m a real human. I’m a chemist. And apparently defending science is controversial on X. Vaccines save lives. Chemistry saves lives. Evidence matters more than opinions. Yet scientists are often drowned out by people who have never set foot in a laboratory. I think it’s time more scientists started speaking up. Chemists. Biologists. Physicists. Doctors. Researchers. Engineers. We need your voices outside the laboratory. So here’s a little experiment. If you work in science, introduce yourself. Tell us what you do. 👋 Let’s remind X how many real scientists are out there. Bonus points if you have a dog too! 🐶
