Asked what he thinks about a presidential candidate speaking about batteries this way, Sadoway laughed. “Are we talking about the scientific literacy of any candidate?” he said. “I question the scientific literacy of anybody who’s running for president.” He added: “There are so many battery posers out there who don’t know the cathode from the anode.”

Absolute battery chad

Pfft everyone knows oxidation happens at the anode and reduction happens at the cathode, this should not qualify me to run for office.

I made a battery from a potato once. Am I disqualified from office?

I drank a drink made from a potato once and I say you're qualified.
