Science’s secret is that it is not subject to authority, because there are no authorities in science and to make discoveries scientists treat each other as intellectual peers.

Trump is the third US president to pardon insurrectionists. Pardons by the previous two - Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Ulysses S. Grant in 1873 - were followed by years of violent racism and the rise of the KKK.

The US has pardoned insurrectionists twice before – and both times, years of violent racism followed
It’s not yet clear whether Trump’s pardons will herald a period of national harmony – as past presidents hoped for – or more incidents of violence, as actually resulted.

What an evening! It was wonderful to be with so many colleagues and friends who contributed to sequence the wheat genome and believed in it when many thought it was impossible . One of the most transforming scientific and human adventure I was privileged to be part of. Thank you all !!!
