The reason we don't have an explanation, and most likely won't, is because Department of Health and Human Services has an indefinite Trump-issued communications freeze from talking to the public.
Would you say that's not government suppression of science?
- koolba 10y agoI'm pretty sure the communications and hiring freeze is across the board (with a national security related exception). It's not specific to one department. That aside, nobody is preventing anyone outside of government from researching anything they'd like, publishing it, or shouting it from the rooftops. The only complaint I hear is projects and voices that specific people want heard aren't being promoted.

Looks like the EPA has to ask for permission to talk to anyone now. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/25/511572169/epa-scientists-work-may-face-case-by-case-review-by-trump-team-official-says http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/25/511572169/...
