    Apart from the awful title, a very interesting article about how there’s a subset of scientists who don’t understand (or have forgotten) that the data doesn’t speak for itself. Laypeople and politicians certainly won’t grasp how it fits into “life in general.”

    Science communication is necessary and so vital, and it’s in short supply, made worse by bad actors with an agenda. If we leave their humanity out of science, we lose out on the very expertise of the people who are able to look at that data and see the big picture.
