Can you name a scientist famous for a commitment to the truth, who stuck to the evidence in the face of severe opposition (living or historical)? Reply with a link to their story and I'll RT.
My favorite example is Dr. Mary Amdur, who pioneered air pollution toxicology despite intimidation from chemicals companies.
