“I realized early on that when you deal in the heady company of presidents, cabinet secretaries and members of Congress and are asked for advice, you must be prepared to disappoint people with the truth and risk never getting asked back into the inner circle. I accepted that concept. Science is truth, and as a scientist I told the truth.” -- Anthony Fauci, in a speech accepting 2007 Lasker Award, as quoted by UC Davis medical student Samantha Wong in her prize-winning essay, "Science as a Voice of Reason."
