Trump’s call for ‘gold standard science’ has prompted an outcry: here’s why
Thousands have signed an open letter against the US president’s latest order, anxious about political interference in science and more.
Trump signed an order mandating the overhaul of research-integrity policies so that the US government promotes “gold standard science”. But many researchers worry about political interference and are mobilizing opposition.

You might be wondering why we haven't updated outbreak.info for months.
Well, the reason is that GISAID cut our access in January - as they did others. Without telling us.
After a ♾️ back and forth, that is now permanent.
More on that soon - and why GISAID should not be trusted with critical data.
