every science news article is like "chinese researchers invent cure for hurting your back getting out of bed" and every science policy news article is like "uncomfortable bed lobby successfully lobbies trump admin with $500 bribe"

1. "'Trusting the experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy," Kennedy said."

It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy.

I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.
RFK Jr. in interview with Scripps News: ‘Trusting the experts is not science’
HHS Secretary RFK Jr. sat down with Scripps News for a wide-ranging interview, discussing mRNA vaccine funding policy changes and a recent shooting at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Today in 1848 the American Association for the Advancement of Science was established. let us all push for science and facts in how we make policy decisions.

Science journalists: it’s not actually your job to be uncritical cheerleaders and propagandists for science and science policy. It is your job to inform the public about what is happening. Everyone should know about the Trump space policy directives!!!! 🧪 #scicomm

democrats whenever namecalling is an option instead of crafting a real vision for policy

An alternative would be to seek out institutional design for policy delivery that can resist GOP opposition. There is a literature on this in political science and law reviews — “self-entrenching” policy, policy-feedback loops — but some of it relies on a formalist understanding of law. (6/7)

Excited to attend a day of science policy discussions at the consortium for science policy and outcomes, a DC science policy think tank where I’m an affiliate researcher. Celebrating 25 years of studying science policy! I’ll share insights throughout the day. 🧪

@defendpublichealth.bsky.social has filed an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit against RFK Jr. by five medical and public health organizations, including @apha.org, for his dismantling of science-based vaccine policy.

This man must be stopped!

Duckworth voted just *yesterday* to confirm Trump's pick for director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Indiana Jones, Han Solo, and Dr. Richard Kimble call Donald Trump the greatest criminal in history for his attacks on science and climate policy.

Scientists being criticized for bias when they speak up for their science in policy arenas is how you get to science no longer informing policy
As someone in this picture I find it a little odd that @natureportfolio.nature.com chose this image to illustrate the point.

We were very careful when choosing a slogan for our signs that it be scientificly defenceable.

"Science says New Oil & Gas = Death" is a plain statement of fact

We cannot advocate for wildlife and science, without also advocating for science based policy. Politicians have sold our legacy, our few remaining pristine places for greed and short term gain.

We turn it around now
Or fade away into smoke and ruin

In 43 days we vote

I’m once again begging science policy reporters to remember that not all research funding is for space exploration or human health.

Project 2025 plans to break up and reduce the components of NOAA. But the services NOAA provides, every citizen uses every day.
I paid the price for speaking out about “Sharpiegate.” Scientists can’t be silent now, either.
