the science info is the science info
the political correctness crap is from the editors&writers at science daily
i subscribe to science daily’s free email updates for the science - “what’s happening” - and menatlly bypass the embedded editorials in any artiole
I do that only because they do cover a wide range of “what’s new” in science, and I don’t have to buy
a bunch of print or electronic versions of other
science magazines
write to them about ther embedded editorials; as I found, you likely will get no answer at all
I don't think so as these are direct quotes from Professor Ehsani. But there could be a couple of explanations: 1) the writer was making up quotations out of whole cloth or 2) the writer was subtly encouraging the professor to add the PC commentary by asking leading questions, e.g., "Do you think your work will help create jobs in impoverished third world countries?"
But I think most professors, even in the hard sciences and engineering, are steeped enough in PC crap to spout this on their own in order to keep the funding tap turned on.
