Why Trump’s push for ‘gold-standard science’ has researchers alarmed
Many scientists fear the Trump administration’s new standard means putting political appointees in charge, which could undercut independent research.

This essay is going straight into the reading list for 'A History of Nature'. The idea that Wheat may/may not have agency led to some of the most robust discussions in class. This essay is going to be excellent scaffolding, especially for science students taking a history subject for the first time

You know how older, grizzled characters in sci fi and fantasy novels always take first watch, or don't sleep, just stare into the fire all night and keep going the next day, and the young hero/ine is all impressed by their toughness?
Maybe they were all middle aged and had insomnia. Just saying.
