You've never seen me debate anybody. On anything. Ever. My investment of time, as an educator, in my judgment, is best served teaching people how to think about the world around them. Teach them how to pose a question. How to judge whether one thing is true versus another. What the laws of physics say.

The idea that science is just some luxury that you'll get around to if you can afford it is regressive to any future a country might dream for itself.

If you only think of me during Black History Month, I must be failing as an educator and as an astrophysicist.
