Just finished the book. So well written and researched. The persecution of scientists was really upsetting.

It frustrates me a good deal that people who don’t understand how science works spin up stories about scientists, who’ve dedicated themselves to study specific things, acting in craven and deceitful ways, and then use the distrust they’ve generated to undermine the sciences in general. I have a great deal of respect for the people who have the intellect, patience, and determination to do science.
