The rule of law isn’t some abstract thing for lawyers and people who own briefcases.
It’s the reason your neighbour can’t just take your barbecue and declare sovereignty.

"Local opinion: Science is under siege, and it must be safeguarded" | Great review of #ScienceUnderSiege by Franz Camenzind for Arizona Daily Star (@tucson.com): tucson.com/opinion/colu...
Local opinion: Science is under siege, and it must be safeguarded

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

For 61 years the #BBCWorldService has been broadcasting the latest in science via its weekly Science in Action programme. That dies in the next half hour, with this final edition, reflecting on the fall in trust in expertise driven by malign interests over recent years.

"Viewpoint diversity" about whether human activity is warming the planet, or whether vaccines work, is like "viewpoint diversity" about whether the sky is blue or whether the Earth is round. It falls outside the range of good faith scientific and academic discourse.
