"Well, maybe more of observational post, noticing how science degenerates when serving as a mere tool of politics in 2 highly politicized areas: Climate research and Nutritional research."

Climate research has been politicized by the Right.

"In these 2 areas, "scientists" operate as paid expert witnesses at trials, saying what they are hired to say."

I know. The oil industry has their crew of pet 'scientists' who can be relied on to cast doubt where told to. It is a travesty, but it is part of the deal.
