A valuable summary from the excellent Prof. Hotez. The photo is a mug shot of the geneticist Nikolai Vavilov, imprisoned and starved to death by the Soviets for standing up for science. (Churchill and others protested to Stalin for him, to no avail.)

Many thanks @houstonchronicle.com about your kind comment and remarks about our work in the Texas Medical Center With the CDC in chaos, RFK Jr. is Gone to Texas | Editorial www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/edit...
The assault on expertise is driven by an agenda to place uniformed, ill-conceived, often politically-motivated antiscience from charlatans on an equal footing with scientific consensus. Please read #ScienceUnderSiege by @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & me: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/science-un...

Yes, @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and I discuss the Lysenko episode and the context it provides for understanding the current ideologically-motivated assault on science in the book!

Thank you that’s really kind!
Many thanks
It's great seeing (and reading) Sunday science facts & advocacy by Dr. Hotez here on our much kinder and reasonable Bluesky. I'll stop short of saying it reminds me of the good ol' days because, well, the pandemic... but nevertheless, Dr. Hotez' factual reassurance from 2020-ish is needed again.
