Ha. They dominate every department.
The Schools of Pure and Applied Science were in the past pure. However today in relationship to Global Warming they have beccome politically corrupt.
I well remember one on my research projects that I thought was most brilliant. I was wrong and discarded it. However, I did discovery things during the research that did lead me to some most interesting discoveries in clay chemistry and cation base exchange. I did not publish but others did the same research later and did.
The point of this is the original global warming precepts and computer models have failed, but the warmists still insist they are right. They have abandoned true scientific research. One must first define the hypothesis and then validate it. If one can not validate it with scientific facts it is worthless as many thousands of hypotheses in the past were worthless.
One can not modify the original hypothesis if it is wrong. One can define a new hypothesis and must then use all new data to validate the new hypothesis. You do not have the luxury to pick and choose your data. All the data must be Incorporated into your new hypothesis as the former hypothesis is dead and gone. Today science is corrupt if it has anything that is political in the research.
I think it is less likely for scientists and engineers to be liberal, just because those disciplines require one to be rational. The far left snowflake who goes into a tizzy screaming about how the STEM fields discriminate against women would never actually study a STEM field as it is way above their intellectual capacity.
