Scientists should be free to research what they want of course, provided that research does not cause harm to anyone. But, scientists should not have access taxpayer funding to conduct whatever little experiments they want. There's not an infinite pot of money, and it is elected officials who decide how the pot gets spent. And in turn, the people decide who the elected officials are through the ballot. The administration was elected. These entitled signatories were not. It is not for them to decide how taxpayer money is spent. If you want to conduct science without politics, don't depend on taxpayer money to do your research. Find a private source of funding.
