Hurricane Musk: How to Think About—and Oppose—the Obliteration of the U.S. Scientific Infrastructure

The United States is currently facing a crisis of epic proportions, akin to a destructive hurricane wreaking havoc on all fronts. The combination of Musk and DOGE is causing irreparable damage to the scientific infrastructure that has made the U.S. a leader in innovation and progress. This disaster is not just a threat to scientific research, but to the very foundations of a clean environment, quality education, job opportunities, and advancements in healthcare.

The systematic dismantling of our tax-funded scientific infrastructure by the current administration is alarming. From cutting funding for research grants to disbanding advisory committees, the ripple effects of these actions will be felt for generations to come. As someone who has studied how communities recover from large-scale disasters, I can attest to the fact that rebuilding will require significant time, resources, and effort.

In just over two months, the Trump administration has created a perfect storm for science. Federal scientists are being targeted for dismissal, essential databases are being eliminated, and efforts to promote diversity and inclusion are being undermined. The destruction of the U.S. scientific infrastructure is akin to blowing up a bridge that has taken generations to build, leaving many in the scientific community feeling adrift.

The impacts of Hurricane Musk and the current administration’s actions are not just theoretical. Lives are at stake, with projections of tens of thousands of deaths due to funding cuts in crucial areas like public health and weather forecasting. It is senseless to destroy something that has been painstakingly built over the years, especially when the consequences are so dire.

In order to recover from this disaster, collaboration, integrity, equity, and investment must be prioritized. Embracing collaboration across disciplines and sectors, protecting scientific integrity, addressing inequities in access to scientific opportunities, and investing in federal research and development are key steps in rebuilding our scientific infrastructure.

Science advocacy organizations have emerged as beacons of hope in these turbulent times, working to bridge the gap between policymakers and the scientific community. Advocacy is crucial in ensuring that the work of scientists has real-world impact and is accessible to diverse audiences.

As we navigate this challenging landscape, it is essential for everyone to come together in support of evidence-based decision-making and progress towards a healthier, more sustainable future. By standing up for science and demanding action from Congress, we can protect our health, environment, and communities for generations to come.
