Science for the People

science_for_the_people_magFrom a brochure produced by the Boston group (1975)

Science for the People means recognizing the political nature of science; it means access for all people to useful human knowledge; it means the organizing of women and men in science to struggle along with other communities aimed at fundamental social change.

I was an active member from 1976 to 1989, working especially with the Sociobiology Study Group.
