Dear Edward et al:
I agree we shouldn’t engage in partisan arguments on the CCP4bb. However, I
think it is a mistake, and perhaps a missed opportunity, to ignore politics
completely.
For example, Newt Gingrich is currently in the running for Sec HHS. He has
previously written editorials in the NYT and Wall Street Journal advocating
doubling the budget of the NIH.
I think it is incumbent upon us to make our voices heard if such an opportunity
arises, regardless of what one may happen to think about the individual’s
political orientation, as it could potentially be of enormous benefit to the
scientific community.
Yours faithfully,

As a Brexit and Trumpet affected person having a foot in both countries ,this
topic is too far off the normal discussion on CCP4 and probably better taken up
privately. CCP4 is not a political discussion site. With CCP4 the signal is
unusually high and the noise low when compared to any discussion board. I for
one would like to keep it there. Political views aside, we’re all trying to
achieve the same scientific goals. Let’s remember that and keep that the focus.
