“Science is like a good friend: sometimes it tells you things you don’t want to hear”

Whilst I still work in an organisation with science at its core, I don’t often regret having left my first role as an actual, real, bona fide scientist. But when I read someone like Charlie Brooker standing up for scientists (Science is like a good friend: sometimes it tells you things you don’t want to hear) in an impassioned and forthright way I am tempted, just that little bit, to return to the folds of those people who he describes as “fellow human beings who’ve actually bothered getting off their arses to work this shit out”.

Great piece, worth a read.
