 If the lack of funding doesn't get them the cancel culture will. Back in
the '80s James Watson gave a talk at the Harvard Coop bookstore that I
happened into by chance. He realized the ice he was skating on was very
thin and it started to crack during the Q&A session following.
 It took about 20 years before his unfiltered comments got him canceled.
His views had not changed but the left captured the power.

 "In 2007, Watson said, "I turned against the left wing because they don't
like genetics, because genetics implies that sometimes in life we fail
because we have bad genes. They want all failure in life to be due to the
evil system."
 Science be damned when there is an ideology involved. It hasn't changed
since the days when the earth was the center of the universe because the
bible told me so.
 

You're mistaking science with science in the hands of cro-magnons. It is a cro-magnon feature to use "science" as such.
This problem will soon self-correct though. Science will go among Modern Humans where it belongs.
