I just want to say thank you for adding your voice on behalf of Science. Somewhat delayed but still in time. Your letter is bold, simple but conveys a solid advice. Science should never be used when it's convenient and discarded when it’s not, nor invoked only when we need to give policy some credibility. Our Scientists should consider first their obligation to their gift and profession over the urge or need to beneficiate from its commerce at the expense of human lives and livelihoods. This decision is a delicate one that requires a calculus that balances unadulterated science and unadulterated policies, not one or the other, or one over the other. I hope those with the handle are looking and listening and will develop the courage to do the right thing in the interest and benefit of all of us.
