The Trump administration has launched an unfounded assault on science and initiatives, on research institutions and international organizations and on academic freedom and people’s rights.  It is firing employees from national agencies in key disciplines that protect public health, the environment and people’s safety and security.  Women in countries around the world have lost access to contraceptive care from USAID, the world’s largest single-country source for aid, including scientific assistance, due to a 90-day “pause” on funding.  An executive order mandated the cancellation of policies and initiatives in diversity, equity and inclusion, which the administration has described as illegal, radical and wasteful.  This furthers the divisive political agenda of science doubt and denial.
