Dear Reader
We are the only publication of our kind, dedicated to exploring science and technology
as a cultural project that might elevate our humanity or degrade it.
The upheaval of the pandemic presents a trial for us as a nonprofit supported by our readers and an opportunity: You are one of over a million people who have visited our website over the past year, the most in our history.
But to truly expand our national leadership in countering the excesses of scientism and technocracy,
we need to grow the community of readers who support our work by subscribing.
