Lesson #3068 - Truth

The USDA and EPA were silenced today! Cool, cool. That doesn't really change the outcome of quantitative analysis, though. Just because you silenced some scientists doesn't mean they suddenlny become wrong. It just means one day you're suddenly gonna be screwed. Likely, far more screwed than you were before.

I'm going to keep doing what I can for you, and keep teaching students to become better scientists and engineers, and hopefully we'll have a broad productive impact on your future. And I don't work for the EPA or USDA, so, you know, any scientists who want to share information in defiance of the orders, we can work out a dead drop location.

That last paragraph, meant in sincerity, just creepily made the title of this comic a hell of a lot more sincere. Yikes.
