On Scientific Controversy

Two things to remember when listening to scientific topics that have become controversial: 1) when terms like “heretic” or “heresy” are used, the conversation has left the realm of science and entered the realm of religion, and 2) when terms like “traitor” or “denial” are used, the conversation has left the realm of science and entered the realm of politics. Neither realm is at all conducive to scientific progress, but rather to division and scandal. And that’s today’s two cents.

Skyler.
