"Gold standard science" is becoming a ubiquitous Trump administration catchphrase. Many scientists say the administration is flipping the script -- using the language of improving science to damage it. @briannosek.bsky.social @elisabethbik.bsky.social Gift link: wapo.st/43VGY52

Why Trump’s push for ‘gold-standard science’ has researchers alarmed

Many scientists fear the Trump administration’s new standard means putting political appointees in charge, which could undercut independent research.

You know how older, grizzled characters in sci fi and fantasy novels always take first watch, or don't sleep, just stare into the fire all night and keep going the next day, and the young hero/ine is all impressed by their toughness? Maybe they were all middle aged and had insomnia. Just saying.
