Political Opinions
The Guardian describes Rose as a " leftist publicist." His friend and co-author Patrick Bateson wrote that Rose “may be one of the last Marxist radical scientists,” adding that “Stephen is not always right, but he was always very brave about what he was talking about” [2] . In combination with scientific activity and political activism, he is seen as a successor to the tradition of the socialist and crystallographer J. D. Bernal .
