Review of Jefferson & Science

As a student of science (physics) I believed this piece would appeal to me from the beginning. The tone and content of the recording only affirmed this.
I found it short, but telling. It echos an opinion that many in the science professions must have. I found that it left me wanting more, wanting to hear the speaker go further into the opinions of Jefferson as well as the other founders. In that sense it was a little questionable.
At the same time, though, it seemed to have a very good amount of content for such a short time; there was neither too little nor too much information in the essay.
On the whole an enjoyable piece.
