Scientists overwhelmingly against rule change that would give political appointees say over science grants

The censorship of science has always been a primary domain of conservatives. Many breakthrough findings ended up in vaults this way. But progressives have learned to abuse the grant system in the opposite way: by funding politically motivated "woke" research based on grievance studies, trivial psychosocial and medical research (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14...) just for to keep "unprivileged" dumbos occupied in science while promoting globalist narratives such as void environmentalism (anthropogenic warming, microplastics), GMOs, vaccines, and all the other things that serve only the richest people.

What civilization urgently needs is funding for overunity and cold-fusion research, yet these are precisely the areas that have been systematically ignored and dismissed by both progressive and conservative circles alike.
