Excellent op-ed today from retired ELA scientists David Schindler. "Most scientists are by nature introverts, happiest in the field or the laboratory, willing to talk about their work if asked but not inclined to be self-promoters. But on Monday, they demonstrated in public in several Canadian cities to protest the muzzling of government scientists and the de-emphasis of government environmental science. That scientists would take the time and effort to demonstrate publicly should be deeply disturbing to Canadians. It indicates some dramatic and important changes in the purpose of government science departments." thestar/opinion/commentary/2013/09/20/remove_the_muzzle_from_government_scientists.html#
