Trump EPA officials order scientists at Office of Water to stop publishing research: Washington Post
- Scientists at the EPA’s Office of Water were ordered this week to halt publishing ongoing research until further notice in Washington, D.C.
- This directive followed political appointees’ imposition of a new unprecedented review process amid efforts to roll back Biden-era environmental regulations.
- Staffers were told not to publish studies unless fully peer-reviewed and vetted, causing concerns that millions of dollars of research could be stopped.
- Kyle Bennett, EPA science policy director, said, “Science is not supposed to be political,” suggesting the order reflects political motives rather than scientific reasons.
- The halt could delay vital scientific findings and underscores ongoing conflict within the EPA over its mission to protect health and the environment.
