The New Know-Nothings 0

At Psychology Today Blogs, Robert McCauley discusses a recent New York Times report about the Trump Administration’s attempt to sideline science. A snippet:

Plumer and Davenport (the authors of the article–ed.) provide plentiful examples across multiple agencies of the federal government, including the Agriculture, Commerce, and Interior Departments, of directives to stifle scientific research in one way or another. Those examples range from such things as canceling a study on the health effects of mountaintop-removal coal mining to cutting funding for a study on the impact of various chemicals on pregnant women.

They also document a variety of ways in which the current administration has moved to discourage, if not eliminate, the application of scientific findings, standards, and methods to empirical questions pertaining to a variety of public policy issues.
