Here's my editorial on the new Pew trust in science data with great quotes from @katharinehayhoe.com: "Scientists aren’t only brains in jars; we’re human beings embedded in society, bringing both reason and principles to our work.” www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Trust edges up—slightly
The Pew Research Center survey on trust in science and researchers is eagerly awaited every year by science policy experts and communicators. This year’s results, released last week, give a small, but...

In my new Expert Voices column @science.org, I argue that the Trump admin's science strategy (as written in Kratsios' Science: A Golden Age)--which gives more authority & funding to the private sector to direct the research enterprise--will harm science, and further erode its public accountability.
Escaping a downward spiral for science and public accountability
In late July, Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), released Science—A Golden Age, setting forth a strategy to revitalize US research and innova...

🇪🇺 Europe recruits our scientists.
We gift our competitors the next generation of talent, discovery, and industry.
That’s not savings. It’s surrender.
