The Google Memo: Four Scientists Respond
While it doesn&#x27;t invalidate the takes, I&#x27;d like to point out that this is not exactly an unbiased selection of scientists.  With the possible exception of David P Schmitt - the one with the relatively moderate take, whose research was cited in the original memo - they all appear to have at least mildly right-leaning political beliefs (see below).
