A sorry sort of posting. Stan and Martin certainly left the USA for greener pastures. Moving to do research in the fresh air of the South of France hardly is fleeing into exile due to threats. The reason d’etre for their move was the prevailing dogmatism of ‘merican science, and it has only become ever worse since. Don’t neglect where they were in America, Utah of all places. There can be no more absurd a locale to try to do good science than being awash in a fundamentalist cult religious domain that claims the earth is only 10,000 years old, to say nothing of the American worship of vulture capitalism.

He said he had been receiving death threats, and threats on the lives of his children. “I have to leave the country!” he said. He could not confirm it, but suspected the death threats were tied to oil companies. I never heard the part about oil companies, but he did get death threats and he was freaked out. - Jed
