From the article: >> For academic scientists, the list of banned activities could include efforts to increase diversity in the scientific workforce, collaborations with foreign scientists, and research on more environmentally friendly technologies. These are not the "vast amounts of pseudo-science" that your comment refers to. I have nothing against the ideas suggested in the 2020 blog post that you cite... it's just that is not what is happening because of the executive order. The executive orders do not address bad science. So overall, I agree with most ideas in your comment but I do not think it is relevant to the current situation. The administration is not trying to fix bad science.
