Excellent thread - one of the roots of anti-intellectualism is a lack of science literacy and a fear/misunderstanding of chemistry. This issue is precisely why science communication is so important to me.

Chemophobia is the irrational fear or aversion of chemicals. It leads people to believe that chemicals are harmful at any level. Common statements include: •I only want natural ingredients •Vaccines have too many chemicals •I can't pronounce those ingredient names 1/

There is a major lack of microbial/music parody stickers. Thankfully I'm here to change that! pinkpetri.etsy.com
