A general PSA is that if you don't like criticism, you shouldn't claim to be doing science or engaging with scientists. It's who we are and it's what we do.
The literal entire point of doing science is that we can get better together by scrutinizing evidence together. No one, absolutely no one, gets to be an authority simply by virtue of who they ARE versus the data they are attempting to get you to believe. It is, in the end, what we have.
