After two years, it’s clear that this administration values neither the work of federal scientists nor the health and safety of the public. Science is being silenced, in a truly unprecedented way—and we’re all paying the cost. 

—Jacob Carter, research scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists and lead author of the organization’s report entitled “The State of Science in the Trump Era” (January 28)

It almost feels like a hostage situation, like I am being held hostage—my life, my credit, my financial stability—for something that I never voted for [and] I don’t believe in. It’s really frustrating.
