"Don't know what that means, either," Ada replied. "Government homeschooling curriculum ain't big on science."
Sorry, Tony, you just drew one of the least-science-literate people in class.
"Like, say, GMOs," she said, pronouncing it carefully in a mild-mimic of how Tony had said the term. "You said it means 'genetically modified organisms,' an' that means someone used Science--" Look, Cosima had been her roommate for a year. Ada knew the difference between science and Science, at least, "--t' make them do things they wouldn't normally do. But, was the Science in a 'let's give it a radiation shot an' see what happens?' way, or more th' 'breeding plants like some people breed horses or dogs' way?"
