Nieuws dat ik vandaag tegenkwam:
"De topwetenschapper van de NOAA [=National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, het belangrijkste wetenschappelijke bureau van het land] wordt uit zijn functie verwijderd nadat hij nieuwe door Trump aangestelde medewerkers had gevraagd zich te houden aan het integriteitsbeleid van het bureau, dat verbiedt dat onderzoeksgegevens worden gewijzigd om aan de politieke agenda te voldoen."

The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration's top scientist has been removed from his position after he asked new Trump-appointed staff to acknowledge the agency's scientific integrity policy, according to a new report.
Craig McLean, the agency's acting chief scientist, was dismissed from his role last month shortly after sending an email to the new political appointees, including former White House adviser Erik Noble, the New York Times reported.
McLean had reportedly asked them to respect the NOAA's scientific integrity policy which prohibits fabrication, falsification and manipulation of research data driven to fit a political agenda.
The message however did not sit well with Noble, a former Trump campaign data analyst who was recently appointed NOAA chief of staff.
