Science is widely revered. Paradoxically, though, that respect comes from a process of constant, rigorous questioning.

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields once seemed shielded from trends against open inquiry and viewpoint diversity, but recent controversies have brought heterodox issues front and center.
