The Ruthless Politicization of Science Funding

[Hume]

To get funding today, scientists must show that their research will advance the goals of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI).

These terms connote lofty goals, but a close look at what is actually implemented under the DEI umbrella reveals a program of discrimination, justified on more or less nakedly ideological grounds, that impedes rather than advances science.

How should taxpayer money earmarked for science funding be used? This is a $90-billion-per-year question.

The money is entrusted to federal funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Energy (DOE), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Each agency has a well-defined mission.

You know I can always tell that someone doesn’t know shit about science or how it works in the real world when they post idiotic political conspiracy theories like this. Have ever even so much as talked to a real scientist in the field of natural sciences to verify these absurd political ad hominem political conspiracy theories?
