Although technology often precedes science and greatly contributes to scientific knowledge.

We need science. We don't need science in service of a political agenda. Therefore, bravo to the decision to shutter the Office of Party Science in the White House, and long may it remain dead no matter the occupant of the White House.

Besides, there are myriad other govt agencies that could more than take up the slack...for better or worse.

Look, you moron. EPA tried to pressure a scientist to change her testimony. She told them to stuff it. Science is under assault by this disgusting administration. They need to be shown the door. As a Trump supporter, you show your utter ignorance daily.

More proof that politics and science don't mix. Now, in the case you cited, the individual was "pressured" allegedly over a policy matter not specifically related to a purely scientific issue. But even an affable intellectual like you can see that a government scientific agency will be used for political purposes and not be bodily trusted.

For those not under the spell of this corrupt administration, here's a reference site maintained by actual scientists, detailing the assaults on science by the Trumpanzees.

Guess whell is not a Political Science major. Wish I did since we had some great looking girls majoring in PoliSci.

Whell, if politicians set policy in science and medicine, where do you ever get the idea that politics and science do not mix, unless you want to move to Florida and become a Bible thumping science challenging dimwit.

Math when we met, then she had to take Fortran (where we met) and dropped out. She then switched to History/Education and graduated. The ridiculous thing is she then got a job in Blue Cross/Blue Shield as a programmer and again at Chevron.

Trump's lap dog Christie is also disgraceful, and shameless.
