Please don't allow the introduction in Spanish to scare you. There is an important forward in English immediately afterwards, on the persecution suffered by a honest scientist in the USA. ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 14:20:49 -0300 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Rolando Quiros <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: pol-cien : ciencia democratica Estimados, Mientras los argentinos, excepto el establishment, nos hundimos, va una historia de lo que hacen los politicos globalizados con los cientificos honestos. Este es solo una entre muchas historias similares, algunas han estado asomando aun a los journals duros de la ciencia globalizada (Science and Nature). saludos, Rolando This news story is also reported at: http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/20010315/t000022700.html From: Kennedy, Robert Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 5:08 PM Subject: USGS Scientist fired over Arctic Nat'l Wildlife Refuge maps Hello All- Here's an infuriating piece of news on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge issue. The news came over a topic-based listserve on image processing and remote sensing. A scientist working with the USGS was fired because he placed maps of caribou calving areas in the Arctic Nat'l Wildlife Refuge on the web. This map was one of more than 20,000 maps he'd placed on the web. His web page (with all 20,000 maps) has been removed. This apparently happened in the last few days. Please read at least some of his account. This needs attention. It seems to indicate a sea-change in the Department of Interior. While this is not a surprise given Bush's position on the Refuge, we should make sure that it does not go unnoticed. If it bugs you like it bugs me, do something about it. Email Bush. Email or write Senators (our only hope for protection of the Refuge lies in the Senate). Write the newspaper, call your Aunt. This is outrageous.
