The best scientists pen to the pen letter ‘attack on US Science’

About 2000 doctors, researchers and scientists They signed an open letter We call on the Trump Administration to put an end to what they describe as “Turkish Science Intelligence”

The letter of 13 scientists, including medical, climate science and economy, calls on Americans to demand protection of the scientific financing and integrity of the Congress.

All members of the signed, scientists, engineering and medicine, thousands of scientists, scientists, scientific information, the application of the public to the public and riding the work of researchers, wrote that the enterprise was “this institution’s congestion.”

Financing of biomedical research from National Health Institutes (NIH agency), It was supported by more than 300,000 scientists Cut with billions of dollars.

Environmental sciences are also targeted It was determined to put over 1,000 scientists and other employees From the research office of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Management also plans Reduce the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Workforce Up to 20 percent that can seriously affect the weather forecast.

Dr. Steven Woolf was one of the signatories. The American Progress Center and Virginia University of Union is a great companion in a professor at the Medical School. Spent Quite Host Nile Koksal about the letter.

What is really the share right now?

The issue we deal with here is to degrade the functions of our government (and) different institutions of our Project of the Trump Administration.

However, we are a territorial as a scientist, it is not only within the federal government, but also the destruction of many research power in universities and research centers across the country.

The United States has been sleeping for about 80 years in increasing its research capacity.

During the weeks, Trump management confused many of these functions.

To ourselves Mass work in the Department of Health and Human Services. What do you hear about what happens there from your colleagues?

Apocalyptic in the field of steppe today. These are sent a large amount of worker packaging, trying to improve the health of the great agencies and their careers responsible for the health of Americans.

There are those who need to say that this is the swollen bureaucracy, and these things need to be returned, so he thinks the amount given to research as your colleagues and your colleagues is a lot over the years. What would you like to tell them?

I think there is a fair argument for the fact that many of these agencies have inefficient.

But the road you solved inefficiency is a more targeted approach. I am an analogy, if you have a car engine inefficient, you usually take to a mechanic for a tune-up.

In this situation, what happens, takes the fish and cut the engine, it also does not work to increase efficiency and no longer work in the car.

It was very little attempted to improve the efficiency of these agencies. Instead, what is done, simply reduce them sharply and (It’s) made them mostly dysfunctional.

I think that the listeners are important to understand that there are two parts for this.

One is that these massive cuts turn off the spigot for research, so there are fewer money and staff to research.

But the second part is censored. This is where the government’s scientists can use the methods, the methods, work and the results can be used to know how many investigations are applied.

In this case, the principle of scientific independence of research in the world studying worldwide is threatened.

Have you ever heard of a response or reaction … does it get this message?

Is currently a very polarized country.

People who like myself have a great sector of the people who are not happy with such comments, when the Trump leadership raises concerns.

On the other hand, there is a big sector of Americans who assess someone’s actually speaking.

This research facilities and leadership have a lot of research institutions and universities to prevent the infidelity, because of a large number of financial and legal pressure on their leadership and other research institutions.

As a result, there is a relative silence in the research and the scientific community.

Here we saw in Canada, of course … Stories about professors and researchers who leave the United States for Canada. Do you expect more of your colleagues to leave your country for us?

I think so. I think it happens very fast. I personally know the colleagues who do it. It is true for experienced researchers who feel that it should be left to leave the country to leave the country to conduct independent scientific research.

However, the postgraduate school in the United States also takes place for our young people interested in their thoughts in sciences that change their thoughts to look elsewhere for their education.

How do you think it will change the minds of people who don’t agree with you now?

The only way to change the existing momentum is when the American community begins to evaluate how it affects it.

When far away, in Washington, the DC is an easy to marginalize researchers in DC, in these institutions or other employees or other employees or other employees or other employees or other employees.

However, when it comes to Roost, medical errors in the hospital will be responsible for improving the results, and health trends in health, health and welfare can be enough to register and push back to the general public.
