#Trump vs. #Science
American research thrived under a patronage system that funnels congressionally approved dollars to #universities, #nationallabs and institutes. Knowledge factory employs tens of thousands of researchers, draws talent from around world and generates scientific breakthroughs and #NobelPrizes.
#Facts are #elite, facts are fungible, facts are false. And once nothing is true, anything can be true.
Now some American scientists are looking for the exits.
