Tons of the points raised in the article about people extraneous to science are even true for working scientists.

He makes some fair points, but can we stop using 'elite' all the time?

I don't mind it when it's geared towards actual middle class white ppl to be honest — but I also take your point.

Since when is mediocrity elite? I always thought it was more an upper class thing

I don't like using elite as pejorative!

They are most definitely not mediocre.

Oh yeah so much stuff. It's almost as if scientists are not magic. We're just people like everybody else. This is why fetishising sci = bad.
