Democrats in the Senate and House introduced legislation to protect scientists from political bias and special interests, particularly amid allegations against the Trump administration of attacks on the research community.
In emailed responses to Newsweek Thursday, Schatz expressed concern over reports Trump will create a White House panel attempting to undermine government research on the climate."And the person he will choose to lead this panel is the same man who compared climate science to Nazi propaganda." “This may not be the first time science has been under attack in the United States—climate denial has been alive and well for some time now—but from a historical perspective, we are in one of the worst moments, if not the worst moment, for science," Schatz told Newsweek Thursday afternoon in an email. Particularly government science. Our bill is one of many ways that we can answer the call of our times and stand up for science.
The bill would require all federal agencies where research dictates policy, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to establish a Scientific Integrity Officer and prevent"dishonesty, fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, coercive manipulation" that alters scientific research. Perhaps most importantly, the bill would"affirm that science dictates policy and that scientific research should be free from the pressure of politics, ideology, or financial influence.
