"Bitter, party of one--your table is ready", but...

...anyone that believes that science is not political is deluding themselves.

As a retired research scientist/university professor, I can assure you it is. You teach, you conduct research, and then you stay up all night preparing submissions (begging) for research grants/funding. The old phrase "publish or perish" holds true. Your tenure status and your departmental budget DOES depend on it. Piss-off a couple major donors/board members, and you WILL be shown the door. When I was in grad-school, one of my mentor professors was forced-out of his position because he flunked-out a medical student--whose father's last name just happened to be on the side of a wing of a major building on campus. It happens.
