We Should Care About Science

Healthy skepticism is important (see our blog on science and fallibility). We must always remain open to the possibility that we may be wrong (i.e., we are fallible). The Trump administration, those in his inner circle, and those influenced by them, have crossed the line. It is not healthy skepticism. It is a childish mocking of science. We must care about a science of the people and for the people. And while many have manipulated science for personal gain (and we must safeguard against this), this now threatens our very existence.
