If you value science, knowledge, research, or a spirit of intellectual inquiry, chances are that you're not a big Donald Trump supporter. He’s just not here for those things. Which is probably why, on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton got a strong endorsement from dozens of Nobel prize winners:
The forceful endorsement came in a letter signed by 70 Nobel laureates hailing from a variety of fields and making the case that Mrs. Clinton is the candidate who best understands the importance of investing in science and technology at a time when the world faces challenges on several fronts. The letter made no mention of Donald J. Trump, but it suggested that policies that show a lack of appreciation of scientific knowledge could damage America’s prestige and national security.
“We need a president who will support and advance policies that will enable science and technology to flourish in our country and to provide the basis of important policy decisions,” they wrote.
The letter specifically mentions “the devastating effects of debilitating diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and cancer, the need for alternative sources of energy, and climate change and its consequences.” It also points out that “sensible immigration and education policies are crucial to the continued preeminence of the U.S. scientific work force.” In short, Not Donald Trump. But very much Hillary Clinton.
