5. I've been to hundreds of scientific meetings of this type but never saw anything like this.

Of course political stuff is usually reserved to personal conversations, if it comes up at all.

I have personally avoided political conversation at these types of meetings myself.

As far as the reign of the Orange Pedophile I'm sure most scientists are clear on where we stand. The AAAS mailings have certainly referred to the attack on science.
