“The want us to give them politically supportive information, not science.” “Scientists are too scared to speak out, speak truth to power, and worse yet, they get conditioned to self-censor,” Euan Ritchie
“I see my colleagues in the agency now and morale is really rock bottom. Total control, no trust. Science is a dirty word."
