The lawsuit chronicles a monthslong effort to chip away at #HHS’s functions, leading up to a policy memo released on March 27, which “collapsed 28 agencies into 15” & shuttered half of its regional offices across the country.

Among other changes, the policy memo highlighted #RFKJr’s goal of refocusing the dept’s core #scientific functions on “ending America’s epidemic of chronic illness by focusing on safe, wholesome food, clean water, & the elimination of environmental toxins.”

No shit Sherlock.

Cutting federal #funding for #scientific #research could cause long-run #economic damage equivalent to a major #recession, acc/to a new study from American University.
In recent months, the #Trump admin has sought to cancel or freeze billions of dollars in #grants to scientists at #Columbia, #Harvard & other #universities, & has moved to sharply curtail funding for #academic #medical centers & other institutions.

#Trump has targeted #scientific #research in several areas in sweeping government job cuts to curtail what it calls *wasteful* spending, including at the #NIH, #EPA & the #NOAA.

The #climate assessment was a target of #Project2025, the right-wing #HeritageFoundation-written policy blueprint that has helped shape some of Trump's policies.

Project 2025's chapter on scientific agencies said the #NCA should be reshaped to ensure contributors are better scrutinized.

Hi! I'm a new #SciComm member.

I'm currently finishing my MSc in #Environmental #Economics at UCPH. My #research focuses on incorporating learning-by-doing and site-scarcity effects into #renewableenergy #policy design. Broadly, my interests lie in quantitative research around #sustainability.

On my profile, you'll mostly find content related to my #scientific interests and policy discussions in these areas. My own posts will likely share insights from my #academic journey.
