    They skipped the part where after the war we took the nazi scientists too…

    But the old nazis were really into science, modern nazis not so much.

    I don’t think other countries are going to be chasing our science deniers like we chased rocket and medical scientists after the war.

      Well…hopefully they’ll get chased. Just not for the same reasons.

    I hope this is true, with the attacks on science in the US, we’re really looking at falling backward here. I’m afraid we’ll lose good weather forecasting and GPS services very soon, to just name the low hanging fruit.

      And by privilege you mean access to basic freedom and the pursuit of knowledge.

      Most scientists are underpaid and overworked.

        Thanks! I just googled it and it mentioned “Europa and the bull” representing unity and peace.

        We could definitely use some of that, but unfortunately we just get a bunch of what the bull leaves behind instead… :/
