"Science has been completely destroyed" Really? Completely?

Would you prefer the phrasing "US scientific and public health infrastructure has been subjected to capricious changes that will effect almost all aspects of research and health care for a decade or more"? https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00954-y https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00954-y https://www.science.org/content/article/trump-plan-overhauling-health-agencies-will-cut-10-000-positions https://www.science.org/content/article/trump-plan-overhauli... https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00780-2 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00780-2 https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/03/report-us-scientists-lost-3-billion-in-nih-grants-since-trump-took-office/ https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/03/report-us-scientists-... https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/28/trump-administration-science-research-cuts/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/28/trump-adm... https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2025/03/trump-america-infectious-disease/682138/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2025/03/trump-ame... https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00525-1 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00525-1

  Is there a fluoride article in that barrage of links?

    You seem to prefer snarky comments to actual citations. Your loss I guess.

    Hey man what’s your problem?

  Don't see any cuts to maths, physics, chemistry, or computer science. Let alone "complete destruction". For the enraged ones, reminder: this branch aims to refute "Science has been completely destroyed"

    Are you unaware that the executive orders on F&A indirect affect every field of science? Are you aware that an enormous amount of chemistry, mathematical, computer science, physics, etc. is funded through the NIH? The poster I responded to complained I gave too many examples, and now your post is a complaint that I didn't give examples in scientific areas you deem important. For tedious completeness here are a variety of other examples all of which involve math, physics, chemistry, computer science and other non-biomedical fields. * Proposed cuts to NIST -- https://www.npr.org/2025/03/26/nx-s1-5340687/trump-cuts-nist-atomic-spectra-lab-advanced-chips-medical-devices https://www.npr.org/2025/03/26/nx-s1-5340687/trump-cuts-nist... * NASA -- https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/03/white-house-may-seek-to-slash-nasas-science-budget-by-50-percent/ https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/03/white-house-may-seek-t... * Department of Energy -- https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/29/energy-departments-project-hit-list-draws-bipartisan-pushback-from-lawmakers-00254729 https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/29/energy-departments-...
