"Back to the thread. I'm not sure why this current administration doesn't want scientists to talk out loud about their informed opinions. As a scientist (one that is often wrong) I don't like a muzzle. Science succeeds best when there is discourse and the free exchange of ideas and data. "

"News reports in recent days have suggested that NASA has attempted to "muzzle" researchers from responding to the issues raised in the upcoming movie "The Day After Tomorrow." To the contrary, NASA expects that as colleagues, we will speak our minds, regardless of whether those views work to the advantage of the agency or not."
From: NASA Notice to all Employees Regarding Media Reports about the film 'The Day After Tomorrow'.
