Is this a group of Nazi scientists we imported in Operation Paperclip? Sure reads like it.
“The Jasons, drawn from America’s elite scientists, are hand-picked by the existing membership. They are known for fiercely guarding their independence and, at times, ruffling feathers.”

Are they joking? This thing needs an audit starting from the day it was formed.
“Is this a group of Nazi scientists we imported in Operation Paperclip?”

“hand-picked by the existing membership”
practically the definition of insider, elitist, ossification guaranteed to produce nothing new or useful ....
Notice there is no mention of just who does this “hand-picking” of these undoubtedly pompous types.
