Stephen Miller on CNN saying that revoking student visas to China will prevent espionage of scientific and technological research from universities. Except they have also halted that research by pulling funding from our universities.

NIH has rescinded its scientific integrity policy. Hard to see this as anything other than clearing the way for shoddy research on things like vaccines. Regardless of the rationale, it's bad news for public health.

Jesus.
I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Hassan grills Dr Oz about promoting a bunch of scam "medical" products on TV, including "raspberry ketones." She notes that "it seems to me you are still unwilling to take accountability for your promotion of unproven snake oil remedies to millions of your viewers."

So disheartening
The state of our dead democracy
We had to collect 180K signatures to put proposition A on the ballot to increase minimum wage to $13.75 and guarantee sick pay for Missourians. The measure won.
Just now, the Missouri House voted to overturn our will. Without signatures…with a vote. They do the bidding of the wealthy.

This is some sick shit. Heritage Foundation lays out their case that slashing higher ed and gutting public K-12 will increase fertility (for certain desirable populations, of course).

The skipper of the Solong, the ship which rammed the Stella Immaculate a tanker carrying jet fuel for the US military causing one death and a lot of damage, has been arrested by British authorities. He is a Russian.

I don’t even know how this could be presented as being in service of anything other than hindering scientific progress.
