Summary
Trump's presidency has significantly disrupted the scientific community, leading to widespread uncertainty and turbulence. Experts express concerns about the integrity of scientific research and the potential long-term implications for policy-making. The manipulation of data and the dismissal of established scientific facts have raised alarms among scientists.
