Reply to comment by lilfindawg in Iran also barred from Nobel ceremony, after Russia, Belarus by 29PiecesOfSilver

Iranian scientists are world renowned. The government sucks ballsacks though. Hopefully they don't stop recognizing good science and instead snub the government reps.

I want to make it clear, I’m not discounting Iranian scientists, and I don’t think a scientist is bad because they’re Iranian. I’m talking specifically of their govt, who funds research mostly in destruction. I have no doubt there are amazing Iranian scientists in general. In a government where woman are so low on the social ladder, I can’t see why one smart enough to be a scientist would choose to stay there. I think it’s amazing people are protesting to make it a better place for all.
