Description:
In the wake of a military coup in Greece in April 1967, scientists debated whether to boycott scientific meetings in Greece as a sign of protest, namely the annual summer school for molecular biologists held on the Greek island of Spetsai. Unlike many of his European colleagues, Crick was not in favor of a boycott because it did not extend to other oppressive regimes and would further undermine the position of Greek scientists. However, he did insist that scientists hold themselves aloof from such regimes by refusing funding from them for their meetings.
