The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) has until the end of June to develop new guidance for federal agencies. Federal agencies will use this guidance to create new policies that align with the Trump administration’s dubious definitions of scientific integrity and “gold standard science.”
The goals of scientific integrity policies are to (1) protect the scientific process from inappropriate (like political or corporate) influence, (2) make federal research and evidence accessible without compromising people’s personal data, (3) allow federal scientists to communicate their research without interference, and (4) to use the best available science in decision and policy making.
I mean, I think we all know what the choice will be, right?
did we read the same article? the author was overtly critical of trump and never mentioned democrats. what specifically makes you think the author doesn’t have good intentions? quite a leap.
She names Trump’s points explicitly, but doesn’t go beyond “the best practices of this and that institution”.
I can’t say they’re wrong, I expect a scientific institution to have some integrity to say the least. But either she’s too lazy to look them up, or she’s not quoting any for a different reason
