November elections unlikely to ease pressure on US scientists
Original: November elections may bring little relief for scientists beleaguered by Trump
A report from the American Association for the Advancement of Science argues that the November elections may offer little relief for researchers beleaguered by Trump administration policies. Scientists have faced funding cuts, weakened climate and environmental protections, and political interference in research. The piece suggests that even if election outcomes shift the political balance, reversing damage to federal science agencies would take considerable time and would not be automatic.
Why now: The midterm elections are seen as a potential turning point for US science policy, prompting debate over whether they would actually change researchers' fortunes.
