What Biden would mean for science
US presidential hopeful Joe Biden has promised to get back behind the World Health Organization, rejoin the Paris climate accord and push forward on an ambitious strategy to tackle the climate crisis. He has also pledged to reverse travel bans, award more visas to highly skilled workers and make it easier for foreign scientists and engineers who graduate with PhDs to permanently stay in the United States. Biden’s science-friendly platform sits in contrast to that of incumbent President Donald Trump, who has faced scathing criticism from scientists over issues such as his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, dismissal of climate science and distaste for environmental regulation, just to name a few. Nature interviewed current advisers to Biden, advisers who served during his tenure as vice-president under Barack Obama and policy analysts about actions Biden might take in five key science areas if he’s elected.
Nature | 13 min read Ob das wohl so kommt? Nachdem Trump sich mit dem Corona-Virus infiziert hat und leichte Symptome zeigt (welche: https://www.webmd.com/lung/covid-19-symptoms#1), ist ja nicht so ganz klar, ob er noch weiter antritt. Ich hatte den Gedanken, dass er das zum Anlass nimmt, ohne Gesichtsverlust aus dem Geschäft auszusteigen. Denkbar ist diese Alternative.
