Most people probably don't understand how competitive being a Scientist is, it can actually be pretty cut throat. In fact, many say that it is TOO competitive, leading to a hoarding of data, information, and resources.
So while there are things like funding that can be scarce for the guy who goes against the grain, the Maverick can come into SUBSTANTIAL reward for being right.
While there may be some kind of truth to this post,
***Standard yeah-but filler
as someone who has worked with and personally known many science types,
***That would describe 95% of the population. If you want to establish credibility then say that you ARE one of those types.
there is far too much competition within science for there to be any real suppression.

Sure the Majority may look askance at you for your heretical views, but the potential rewards for the person who is proven right are simply far too great.
***Partly 01100010 01110101 01101100 01101100 01110011 01101000 01101001 01110100, partly the truth. Yes there are great potential rewards. That overlooks the huge investment of resources, time, money and effort it takes to overcome the obstacles even when ridicule isn’t part of the equation.
Nobel prize, scientific immortality, you can imagine.
***Didn’t Al Gore get a Nobel Prize? Scientific immortality isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, apparently.

***And here you come completely roundabout and reinforce my own point. Thanks. Scientists exhibit fallible human nature.
In fact, many say that it is TOO competitive, leading to a hoarding of data, information, and resources.
***Oh, those wacky science types, hoarding data and resources. They’re so territorial. But they could never engage in fallible human nature activity like suppression of opposing viewpoints, nahhh. /s
So while there are things like funding that can be scarce for the guy who goes against the grain, the Maverick can come into SUBSTANTIAL reward for being right.
***Your point does not follow.
