There are 2 comments on What Could Donald Trump’s Second Presidential Term Mean for Science, Scientists, and Research?

  1. I’m not a Trump lover, but I do respect his no-nonsense approach. I expect there will be an emphasis on excellence in science. DEI will take a back seat to the best people doing the best research and arriving at the most accurate conclusions — no messing around. The best people who are the best at what they do, regardless of their social diversity, will always have a seat at the table.

    Advice to anyone reading this: always do your best — everyone benefits.
