Peter D. Mitchell - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

"Of course scientists are not infallible. But the judgment of scientific peers is a potent corrective mechanism. It should be left in place & not interfered with."

"They will not hesitate to use their erroneous beliefs to reject scientific research that could be of immeasurable benefit both to humanity and to the United States."

"Political appointees have little or no scientific background & may hold views diametrically opposed to the body of well-proven evidence in science. They may sincerely believe that the world is flat, that Earth was created 5000 years ago, or that viruses and bacteria do not cause disease."

"It is not appropriate for political appointees to have judgment over scientific grant applications. Such veto power over research results in the stultification of science & national prosperity (e.g. Stalin's Soviet Union & Hitler's Germany). The USA should learn from history, not repeat it."
