hardest problems everywhere in the US.
And to us, we're doing everything we can to align all of our agencies, like I just mentioned, to be able to help that make a reality.
To me, I think the scientific community has lost its way over the last few decades.
I think America has been the place of some of the most amazing scientific transformations in history.
And the government has played an important role in a lot of them.
If we look back and think about the Manhattan Project or Apollo, these are sort of seismic events that only the US government could bring together the ecosystem to achieve.
And to be honest, I think over the last 15 or 20 years, I think science has been deeply and deeply politicized.
And we no longer are asking sort of the very hard and important questions of, you know, what is a scientific method?
How should we be approaching it?
Should we be questioning some of these conclusions?
And rather, you know, I think it's been dominated by kind of this dogma.
And I think it really crescendoed and peaked.
in in COVID, where um suddenly, you know, there was a certain individual that if you didn't agree with what he said, then suddenly you're anti science.
Uh and and to me, I think I think that is the that that is the the most anti-science conclusion you you could ever make.
Uh and I really think we have to return back to the basics and that's what we're trying to do in this administration.
I could not agree more.
And I think what we as a government for many, many decades have hadn't taken the effort or the time to do is to apply those same principles of the scientific method to the way that we as a government approach science policy and the way that we approach research and development.
Right now, if you talk to so your median lobbyist for the science,
Community, the only thing that they are fixated on is singularly is the research and development budget.
If the number doesn't go up, then they haven't done their job and they haven't quote unquote supported science.
