Do you have any proof that dissent is toxic to one's career in science today ? Any more so than it ever was ?

Nope, just anecdotal stuff. I could definitely be wrong, but it sure seems like it's a lot more common. It's possible that it's just more visible to me now.

It would be fascinating to see some data on this, although I can't think of how you could quantify it when "dissent" is such an ambiguous and subjective term.
