It seems to me that in this instance the Department of Energy was a bit overzealous in the removal of Dr. Metting.

I think I know what good and bad management looks like.

I would like to just begin by trying to create a sense of context and proportion.

I find it very difficult to accept the premise of these state investigations on an issue of scientific disagreement as an academic but simply saying that this might be fraud or it might be a problem under shareholder laws, it maybe doesn't…

The House Science Committee must focus on its role promoting science and ensuring that America is the global leader in research and development rather than scoring cheap political points.
