Science under siege
Description
Scientific institutions are working to combat a rising wave of attacks on the integrity of scientists and their work. A range of scientific endeavors, including nanotechnology, immunization and atmospheric physics, are the target of misinformation campaigns that have lead to unwarranted abuse and even death threats. Mark Horstman highlights the damage being done to the public's trust in science and the impact these attacks have on the personal lives of hard working and conscientious scientists.
