Thank you Helen for sharing your delightful writing and illustrations! I loved reading about the history of the term “science,” the startling and counterintuitive images by Hooke, and especially the Christian concept of original sin’s effect on the control of the body and the use of that idea to justify scientific study! Wild!, just like those Augustinian musical farts. I appreciate your larger point that science cannot solve our problems or answer our existential questions. And your drawings are wonderful!
Malaria deaths are declining. They remain high in Africa, but this is more a consequence of poverty than of a lack of knowledge of what needs to be done. https://ourworldindata.org/malaria
I really enjoyed this; thank you! I learned some things, and I love the illustrations of the bears.
