Thousands of scientists, academics, physicians and researchers have responded to the administration\u2019s\u00a0executive order about \u201crestoring a gold standard for science.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who could argue with setting a \u201cgold standard\u201d for science?<\/p>\n

Actually, thousands of scientists from around the country.<\/p>\n

President Trump has ordered what he called a restoration of a \u201cgold standard science\u201d across federal agencies and national laboratories.<\/p>\n

But the May 23 executive order puts his political appointees in charge of vetting scientific research and gives them the authority to \u201ccorrect scientific information,\u201d control the way it is communicated to the public and the power to \u201cdiscipline\u201d anyone who violates the way the administration views science.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

It has prompted an open letter, signed by more than 6,000 scientists<\/a>, academics, physicians, researchers and others, saying the order would destroy scientific independence. Agency heads have 30 days to comply with the order.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
