Your comment has everything to do with the article, but unfortunately, the "it has nothing to do with the article" is one of the issues with Science. To keep my argumentation on topic: Historically, scientists never had a so safe life like today. In the past, scientists used to put their life at stake. Galileo, Copernicus, Turin, Einstein..

Yes, yes, one of the great challenges of modern science is that we're not murdering the scientists anymore.

Einstein?

  "When Hitler came to power in January 1933, Einstein was in California and was almost immediately deprived of his posts in Berlin and his membership of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. His property was seized and his books were burned in public. Einstein never returned to Germany, and signed a letter to President Roosevelt alerting him to the fact that Germany might be developing an atomic weapon. He recommended that the US begin similar research."[1] [1]: https://www.wired.com/2012/06/famous-persecuted-scientists/ https://www.wired.com/2012/06/famous-persecuted-scientists/

    But Einstein's pursuit of Science wasn't what put him in danger? In fact it might have made it easier to flee?
