    I like the poem, but anyone who has ever baked anything, or cooked something in a kitchen, as used science. Anyone who has built something, or intentionally managed plants and animals, or has applied anti-bacterial cream and a bandage to a cut has used science. Lots of other examples. Basically everyone which is why I just don’t understand how modern humans can be so anti-science.
