What the hell did I just sign up for?

Important, Not Important: science for people who give a shit.

We’re not journalists (or scientists, or doctors, or…), but we do help people, companies, cities, and countries answer the question, “What can I do?”

Our twice-weekly news and essays take in and provide you with the very best and most reputable journalism on climate change and cancer, food and water, public health to biotech, AI and data ethics, and where they all intersect.

From there, we hand-select the most effective people, legislation, and organizations working on the most vital causes, and provide you with the dead-simple Action Steps to support them.

From now on, you’ll have a much better understanding of what’s happening in the world, so you can better help unfuck it. Huzzah!
