There's no such professor. No professor of genetics would be intimidated by fear of criticism. Science profs thrive on criticism. Now maybe if it were a sociology or theology professor....

You don't know what you're talking about. The professor sat in my very living room, told that very story, and confirmed that personal prejudice, politics, and totally irrational impulses sometimes not only influence--BUT GOVERN--the scientific community. He said something very startling. Listen to this: SCIENTISTS ARE HUMAN BEINGS.

You heard it here first.
