Welcome to Chicago style ‘ghetto ethics’ being forced onto scientists.
Alston Chase’s Playing God In Yellowstone covered the issue of environmental science and politics. He dealt with political bafflegab such as this jewel: “The document states, “Federal scientists may speak to the media and the public about scientific and technological matters based on their official work,” but then adds a caveat: “with appropriate coordination with their immediate supervisor and their public affairs office.””
Note the “with appropriate coordination with their immediate supervisor and their public affairs officer”.
Same old, same old - but with the “In their facees” attitude of the Ghetto Trash we sent to DC two years ago.
Her is the best summation of government reorganization yet written:
“I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet each new situation with reorganization, .....and a wonderful way it is to produce the illusion of progress while creating demoralization and inefficiency.”
It was written by a Roman named Petronius, who died in A.D. 66.
Same old, same old - indeed!
Doesn’t anyone ever ask why a scientist needs a “supervisor”?
Bump!
