Dr. Yildiz in this awesome article looks at this fine line between science and politics, with the necessity of trust and educability in scientific communication. Both balanced and compelling in its critique of Nature’s political engagement, he urges the nation to care about the policies, not the partisanship. This is a plea for a connection between science and society, that we are not detached from a useful purpose, and that discovery is rooted and responsible for the public good.
