Ah such a flippancy! I was recently appointed Visiting Assistant Professor in Anatomy and Cell Biology at the UofI. Cool Hu !

Science in politics is only really a problem when people are either 1) to lazy to get into the available data or 2) to dumb to understand it.

Science done properly is not political, if you feel that it has been politicized, then go back to the data and make your own mind up. All you have to do is understand the elements it examines.

Unfortunately, in a world that favors "five word answers" there is plenty of room for abuse !
