Abstract

<p> In his first days in office, President Donald Trump is already leading his administration on a crusade against science. He’s <a href="https://qz.com/893441/donald-trumps-administration-has-put-a-gag-on-the-usdas-agricultural-research-service/" target="_blank"> blocked the USDA </a> and <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2017/1/24/14372940/trump-gag-order-epa-environmental-protection-agency-health-agriculture" target="_blank"> the EPA </a> from sharing their own research with the public. He’s reportedly planning to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/report-trump-plans-ban-epa-funding-science-axios-1" target="_blank"> ban the EPA from funding </a> scientific research, and considering a <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/25/511572169/epa-scientists-work-may-face-case-by-case-review-by-trump-team-official-says" target="_blank"> “case by case” review </a> process for its research. In this post-truth, alternative fact world, it’s more important than ever for scientists to promote their research and demonstrate not only why our work matters but why it is irresponsible and dangerous to keep the public in the dark.</p>
