I don’t understand why people aren’t more outraged by what is happening.

This article--on the systematic dismantling of the NIH, NSF, and CDC--is a must-read not only for researchers and clinicians but for anyone who has ever gotten a vaccine, taken medication, read the results of a research study, or gotten tested for Covid, flu, or STIs.

The EPA plans to demote career employees and replace them with political appointees, which would give Trump administration loyalists more influence over aspects of the agency that were traditionally led by nonpartisan experts.
E.P.A. Demotes Career Employees Overseeing Science, Enforcement and More
A spokeswoman for the agency said the change was “common practice.” Others said it injects partisanship into jobs that have always been neutral.

Disappointing.

One of the tools scientists have to fight now are our scientific societies, and we should push them to lead the way.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists.
