Scientists sometimes think of engineers as people with a bag of tricks, models, and rules of thumb, but the engineers I knowand I are with the scientists in accepting the world as it is and not falling into the political pitfalls mentioned in the articles.

I know science isn't value neutral, but it tries hard to be. We're excited to be proven wrong. We want to how to prevent Galloping Gerties. We need more scientific fact and engineering models and fewer opions about things that should be characterized empirically.

I wonder how much of sciences money comes from the public coffers? I suspect that those included in this survey get a substantial amount of it.
