Ask a Scientist: A Hundred Days of Harm—How the Trump Administration Is Eviscerating Science and What We Can Do About It

President Donald Trump’s second term has been marked by a series of reckless and destructive actions that have left many concerned about the state of science and the environment. Dr. Pallavi Phartiyal, Vice President for Programs, Policy, and Advocacy at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), is at the forefront of the organization’s response to these challenges.

In just the first few months of the Trump administration, we have witnessed a rapid onslaught of changes that have shaken the scientific community to its core. Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been dismantling federal science agencies, firing staff, and impeding their work. Executive orders targeting diversity, equity, inclusion, science, environmental justice, and voting rights have been issued at an alarming pace. Additionally, Trump’s appointees are rolling back crucial climate and public health regulations and threatening to withhold federal funding from universities and colleges, actions that are both illegal and unconstitutional.

The attacks on science have been relentless, with Musk’s administration reducing scientific capacity, limiting transparency, and undermining agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the US Census Bureau. Critical scientific data and research are being suppressed, while rules on chemical safety, emissions standards, and pollution control are being relaxed to benefit polluters and corporations. The future of US scientific leadership is also in jeopardy as research and grants to universities are being halted.

UCS is fighting back against these assaults on science through initiatives like the “Save Science, Save Lives” campaign, which aims to protect federal science and scientists. The organization is also preserving important documents, offering resources to federal employees, mobilizing scientists and scientific societies, and exposing the harms caused by the administration to public health and environmental protections.

One major step taken by UCS is joining a lawsuit against the administration, challenging the constitutionality of the funding cuts and mass firings that have impacted its members. The organization is calling on scientists and science supporters to unite against these attacks by engaging with elected representatives, raising awareness about the negative impacts on science and the environment, and participating in digital campaigns to hold the administration accountable.

As we approach the 100-day mark of Trump’s second term, it is crucial for the scientific community to stand together and defend the integrity of science and the environment. By taking action and speaking out against these harmful policies, we can work towards a future where science is valued and protected for the benefit of all.
