Which Trump’s first day tells science about new administration

By Michael S. Lubell & Philip Rubin Edited Daniel Vergano

Donald Trump is a frenetic behavior that is regulated by the last lost Maelsstrom of President Maelsstrom For science. The days have passed since the return of Trump to the oval office, but his orders and appointments could provide the Second Trump Administration, a science and technology engine that promoted the economy of America more than three-quarters.

On the trail of the campaign, Trump ordered him Federal expenditure expenditureFire agency experts believed “lotr“And take a sledehammer to his head to their adapted policies Kapolars. With the help of his Capitol Hill Allied, Mike Johnson’s home speaker and his Mega financial campaign Backer Elon Musk is the head of the newly created advice group Dog (The Government Department) is beginning to deliver its commitments.

For many senior administrative messages Trump candidates have a great testimony of science. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., To address the Health and Human Services Department of whom he touched The most notable case. A lawyer in training and an Theoretical Antivaccine Peddler and Conspiracy According to fame, he would have authority in the direction of the National Health Institutes, the nation biomedical research gem Nearly $ 50 million budget A year.

But it’s not the only one. Chris Wright, Fracking Executive and Trump’s Secretary of Energy is not a denial change in climate change, but the skeptical of scientific consensus is that a warmer planet affects more extreme weather events. While recognizing the impact of global warming of carbon emissions, it continues to promote The production has increased and use fossil fuels. You should twist the pretzel to scientifically combine these two views. Of course, the center of Trump Energy Policy echo: “Drill, Baby, Drill”.

These two appointments serve to strengthen the trump science rejection. He has claimed that Climate change is a hoaxThe foam; It is a rail against windmills, calling, without scientific evidence, Bale killersThe foam; Los Angeles accused of firefighters a Valve in a water pipeline that does not existThe foam; And, in his first term, he promoted Dangerous machines To deal with Covidi. He said he wants clean air and clean water, but it is contrary to good science, is promoting Return of coal The electricity is to seize the management practices of California who control and control Salinity Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

With international ramifications you need to look at two executive action to start taking the scope of the TRUMPEN science war. On the day of his new administration, he announced from both America’s departure Paris Climate Agreement and World Health Organization. Science with the international nature simply does not have a seat on the “America’s first” desk.

These are not the only indicators that will be appointed under Trump in the coming science. President of the second war of Second War II, in general, in scientific specialization, Trump scientists seem to be intended to freeze professional scientists, especially those with academic research. Instead, the federal agency is leadership with technologists. Some certainly have a strong admiration and appreciation for science. Most often, however, their credentials talk about transactional policies and the buying of siliconal valley culture.

This technology culture that captured Trump’s imagination has a low patience, which ultimately the façade of the Basic Research Type of Research registering in the American Science and Technology Engine. Musk and other members “Paypal Mafia“Those who advise Trump, can give spectacular economic returns here and now, but such benefits would come to the detriment of a science and technology engine in the future.

Some potential trump appointments and their credentials emphasize.

David Sacks Aimed at the Council of Science and Technology, it is known through its acronyms, is a capitalist lawyer and danger, known for the implication of AI and cryptopurrity, which would oversee the administration’s “Tsar”.

Michael KratsiosHe directs the office of the White House of Science and Technology and aimed at the President’s Science Advisory, revised reviews in favor of the Science Community and was a provisional director in the first term of Trump. But the training of education in politics and Hellenical studies is certainly outside the ordinary. Over the last three years, he has been the Director General in a AI company, placing the technologist camp.

Emil MichaelWhat would serve as a subsection as a subsection of research and engineering is the former Uber executive. It is an employer with legal education, not usually carried out engineering found in a technical pentagonal role.

Dario GilThe Trump has an exception to science and innovation, as it is an exception, as a president of the National Science board and as a director of IBM research. His professional profile speaks to his skills, but it is more than a technologist than a scientist.

Leadership and policies are important, but the most important budgets of federal science staff and federal science are important. Office in the first week of Trump Established He gave him steps to freeze the extensive government-free recruitment and a class of federal staff to replace Trump loyalists, threatening freedom against continuity and political interference required by science. In favor of funding, science support Republican plans include reducing taxes and increasing the expense of defense, reducing federal debt size. That’s the future. The present? All federal funding has been suspended Grant shows until they are not addressed to the commandment orders of Trump. (Suspension of grant was temporarily paused by a federal judge.)

Greater consciousness of the citizens will not become an incorrect preview.
