I haven’t seen this label used before but it seems apt. The video contains a good discussion of what “science populism” is and how it’s harmful.

Descansa en pau Gaspar, et trobarem a faltar
El Dr. Gaspar Rosselló ha estat sempre un home d'universitat i serà sempre part de la @ub.edu. Ha marxat de forma tan sobtada que encara ressona en el meu cervell el seu riure intens del darrer dia que ens vam veure. I no sé com ho farem per mantenir aquest seu somriure per sempre més.

World's darkest and clearest skies at risk from industrial megaproject
On December 24th, AES Andes, a subsidiary of the US power company AES Corporation, submitted a project for a massive industrial complex for environmental impact assessment. This complex threatens the pristine skies above ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert, the darkest and clearest of any astronomical observatory in the world [1]. The industrial megaproject is planned to be located just 5 to 11 kilometres from telescopes at Paranal, which would cause irreparable damage to astronomical observations, in particular due to light pollution emitted throughout the project’s operational life. Relocating the complex would save one of Earth's last truly pristine dark skies.

Apparently all the PhD researchers holding prestigious NSF-funded research fellowships are having their salaries withheld until some unspecified time when the leadership figures out how to eliminate any grant funding that doesn’t align with the president’s political ideology.
It’s official: all funding requests made on Tuesday by postdocs for their salaries have been unilaterally rejected by NSF.
