how we have allowed such figures, in turn, to control the story and direction of science

Eh, they lost me there. Scientists and all authority figures definitely need to be held accountable. Through admonishment, punishment, dismissal or police or criminal proceedings.

But to make this about the "direction" or "story" of science sounds like something else entirely. How about a little class warfare instead?
