DNA is everywhere! Scientists found it in landlocked geysers and deep-sea vents. DNA is in the air and the dirt under your feet, in the billions of microbes in your gut, and in fragmented bits of ancient DNA. Where will scientists find it next?
Who is Rebel Artist for Science
Rebel Artist for Science: Who is she?
Her name is Artist. She’s a character in my books and she is me, Lynn Fellman. She takes us inside real conversations with scientists — in the lab, on campus, in the greenhouse.
Artist explains it so we get it. Making the complex clear. She speaks for all of us and makes our voices visible.
Artist was never going to stay as ink on paper, confined to my books. We are stepping off the shelf and onto campus. Into neighborhoods. Community centers. Conferences and farmers markets.
In the age of AI, there’s nothing better than being real and in-person. I show up with a pocket full of Rebel Artist for Science stickers and hand them out for free.
“Hi, I’m Rebel Artist for Science. Would you like a sticker?” Some people laugh. Some look a little confused, then say, “Sure.”
A smile and a free sticker are proving to be a conversation starter — just what I was hoping for. I listen to what people fear, what they care about. And I ask, “Will you stand up for science?”
Science is under attack.
Funding slashed. Top researchers leaving. This isn’t a setback—it’s a generational loss.
While the U.S. dismantles its own research infrastructure, other countries are stepping forward. They’ll anticipate what’s coming. They’ll create the future. And we’ll watch from the sidelines.
Scientific knowledge belongs to everyone — that’s the good news. The bad news? American Science, our National Treasure, is abandoning its place at the table where the future gets made.
We stick together.
We’re a pro-science alliance with strong voices supporting science. Be Bold. Get Fierce. Stand up for science and bring back funding for basic research. Demand science-based public policy. This is what citizens do — we protect what matters.
