I think it can be also seen as a fairly pointed reference to this, which happened only a few days ago. It was a stupid and careless error on the part of the scientist in terms of running afoul of bureaucracy, but the consequences here are WILDLY out of proportion - especially if you take into account the incredible positive effect her research could have.
