Political endorsements can affect scientific credibility
In 2020, Nature endorsed Joe Biden in the US presidential election. A survey finds that viewing the endorsement did not change people’s views of the candidates, but caused some to lose confidence in Nature and in US scientists generally.
A good reminder of what's wrong with modern politics. People think their political causes are so important that they trump civil behavior in any sphere, ie staying neutral when operating in what should be an apolitical sphere. Like that idiot from expensify.
