Bruce Stillman, president of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, sat down with STAT to share his thoughts on everything from research funding to President Trump.

The principles of openness, transparency, and reproducibility might be weaponized to defund and deny research.

Science and technology are so central to the economy, defense, and other top-tier issues that President Trump should appoint a science advisor soon.

The recent election cycle has made it abundantly clear to most scientists that a large fraction of adults in the United States are surprisingly susceptible to illogical arguments designed to fool them.

A comparison with the early Reagan budgets shows many similarities, but also demonstrates the Trump Administration is far more willing to scale back even basic science.

Trump's first budget blueprint is a cramped document that sacrifices American innovation to small-bore politics, shortchanging basic scientific research across the government.

Massive funding cuts in the president's proposed budget could be more devastating than any threat posed by illegal immigrants.

This is not about Republicans versus Democrats. It is about a more fundamental divide, between those who believe in evidence as a basis for life-altering and nation-defining decisions and those who adhere unflinchingly to dogma.

What few details appear in 2018 blueprint shock Congress and community.

My uncle immigrated to the United States in 1956 with no assets, a brilliant mind, ambition, and a faith that America was a great country of opportunity. He escaped from Hungary, a country of communists, at the time a source of great fear among many US politicians. If the US President at his time were making policy similar to our President today, my uncle would’ve never been allowed in the US.

It’s a bloodbath.

While Trump takes aim at immigration, foreign trainees consider taking their talents elsewhere

Trump has moved to fill just one of 46 top science posts requiring Senate confirmation.
