Standard view: Butte has a lot to lose in a science-free Trump Administration

When scientific knowledge is expanding as rapidly as it is today, we can ill afford four or more years of science denial.

It’s unknown whether there will even be a council of scientific advisers in the Trump Administration, which apparently feels it knows all it needs to know about science, thank you. Three months into his term, the President has not even named a chief science adviser – a key position that dates back to the Franklin Roosevelt Administration.

Smaller government good? Perhaps. More ignorant government? Not so good.
