NASA Administrator Michael Griffin this week read the riot act
to the outside scientists who advise him, accusing them of
thinking more of themselves and their research than of the

the resignation of three distinguished scientists from the NASA
Advisory Council (NAC), two of whom have questioned Griffin's
plan to dramatically scale back a host of science projects.
