As a scientist, I was trained to fight the bias that we all have, and let the evidence do the talking. Some say they are not biased, but that is the trap. We all bring bias to the table. If one really wants the truth, one needs to recognize the bias, and fight to interpret the evidence (all the valid evidence) fairly. Picking and choosing what evidence to consider is a sure sign that reason has been left behind. Science is clearly under assault in the current administration. However, much of the controversy is actually over what policies we should adopt to combat what science tells us is happening, but the policy controversy should not make some ignore the scientific facts and conclusions.
