Reposted by Marlene Walk Carl T. Bergstrom @carlbergstrom.com · 13/04/20250. Vought, Vance, Rufo, and those attacking academia see scientists as bureaucrats—in the most pejorative sense of the term—who they can "put into trauma" and drive to quit. They don't understand that science is not just a job. It's a vocation, literally, in the original sense of *a calling*. 21787130
