    That’s a very big concern. It’s hard to want to do scientific work when there’s an administration hostile to everything you do, including saying g that it’s made up.

        There’s certainly some of that that the research community has been trying to fight back on with variable success. We’re better than most countries but worse than a few, with space for improvement.

        Active hostility towards science is very different from making improvements in the areas of concern.
