From The Science Show

Barbara Schaal, President of The American Association for the Advance
of Science says scientists are worried and anxious about their future.
The fear is that funds will be removed from basic research which forms
the basis for technological developments. Since the election of new US
President Donald Trump, there has been silence regarding science and no
appointment of a science advisor. Meanwhile, members of congress are
prepared to state they don’t accept the climate is changing and if they
do, they don’t accept that human activity is a major contributor. This
is part of the outrage as climate science is not a political construct.
