Yep Im in polymers myself. Lots of funding if you can motivate yourself to care about what are essentially chunks of plastic. Materials is the way to go in chem. Some of the mat scientists Ive met have crazy work ethic and get loads of results. One of the physicists here researches materials and averages 6 patents a year. Just by himself.

Conservatives deny scientific thought and the entirety of critical thinking. They are averse to thinking because they need daddy jesus to tell them what to do and explain the world in baby level oversimplicity

Liberals deny specific areas of science but generally still accept scientific thought.

Science denial is a cornerstone of conservative philosophy. The majority of them deny science. Liberal science deniers are a fringe group.

Also, nuclear power has very real unsolved issues, evolutionary psychology is flawed.

There is the nuclear waste storage issue. We are still decades away from reliable nuclear fusion. There is the issue of location so that weather doesnt fuck it up.

Evolutionary psychology isnt the entire picture despite the arrogance of dawkins and his ilk. Human beings have minds that allow us to operate on a level beyond ape-tier instinctism. Evolutionary psychology is good but it ignores the psychology of the mind.
