I can't help but wonder if the attention Epstein's science funding gets is just misdirection away from his more powerful associates.
I do feel like the universities are desperately trying to redirect issues into social justice, away from big dollars, widespread data fabrication, or other issues like this one.
Once social justice activists come in, the landscape becomes toxic for anyone else.
I'm very glad to see this sort of reporting.
I have no idea how social justice activists relate to anything in this article or anything in this comments section.
If anything, Propublica could be put in the camp of "social justice" activist journalism.
It seems like there's an unfortunate trend to group anything we don't like or makes us uncomfortable under the rubric "social justice" activist. This is vague, non-specific, and poor communication practice.
