Seems like ‘science’ needs independent, aka non-establishment, journals. It would be easy enough to setup electronically. The world is in the process of dividing. For instance, there’s a pretty good probability that cable news will slowly become a relic of the past, at least on the right.
Don’t worry, the Chinese don’t have DEI committees to interfere with scientific progress.

Circa 1974 as an undergraduate I was doing some directed studies about clay chemistry using X-Ray diffraction. I had a hypothesis that was totally wrong.
Oddly, I discovered something unique about dehydration of hydrated montmorilite clay at various levels of electrolytes. It was worthy of publication, I did not. Years later it was published by another geologist totally of his own same research and merit. The reason I was doing this study is it related to down hole stability of drilling operations in the oilfield exploration. I was oilfield.
The point is, I was wrong in my first assumption. Today you can just fake the data and nothing happens to you nor your career. In 1974 if I faked data the head of geology would have thrown me out of school.
Marie Curie was a badass, and didn’t need recognition as a woman to set her apart.
It’s pretty bad when a defense of merit in science has to be published in a Journal of *Controversial* Ideas.
“A group of 29 scientists including two Nobel laureates”
needs to start its own journal.
The left has politicized science. Leftists infiltrated science and ruined it as they have ruined everything they have touched.
Government has gotten too large. Government now corrupts everything it touches.
“Funders.....and politicians should not dictate how science is done, and political agendas should not replace Mertonian norms......Ideological control of the scientific enterprise leads to its decline......Scientific research requires dedication, intensive technical training, and a commitment to rigor and truth seeking......Enforcing identity based hiring is discriminatory, as it deprives some high achieving individuals, including economically disadvantaged individuals who are not members of politically favored identity groups, of opportunities they have earned, thereby potentially damaging morale and engagement.” LOTS OF IMPORTANT TRUTHS HERE!!!!
Bookmarked. Thank you
If objective truth does not exist then there is no Science. If there is no Truth there is no knowledge, only Assertion.
