So, I’m a scientist. I find it very interesting how many people firmly believe that we are such monsters that we would hide cures in order to somehow “keep getting funded.” As if the world is short on diseases or things that need to be understood, so if we figure out one, we’re done.
This belief – that scientists are willing to watch not just strangers, but their families, friends and even themselves die (being exposed to chemicals and toxins means that we in research have a much higher incidence of cancer), just to keep funding… is despicable.
This is the second Wiley has insulted everyone who works in science (and, generally, for miserable pay). He should be ashamed of himself.
