Common design for how disinformation campaigns undermine democracy.
--Identify audiences who hold perceived grievance
--Support a populist message that offers the aggrieved audience a sense of power it has not recently felt and an out-group to blame.

I predict academic independence will come under increasing threat in 2026.
In response, I think scientists must lean into uncomfortable roles, like political advocacy, to defend independence.
