The Trump executive order is not a pathway to a "gold standard" it is a blueprint for politicizing science and marginalizing expertise, write Jacob Carter and Gretchen Goldman.

The article from STAT News, dated June 9, 2025, discusses the impact of a recent executive order signed by former President Donald Trump, which aimed to enhance transparency in scientific research but has led to significant concerns about the politicization of science. The order mandated that federal agencies must consider the reproducibility of scientific studies when making policy decisions, a move that critics argue could undermine the "gold standard" of scientific research by prioritizing certain types of studies over others. This has sparked a debate within the scientific community, with some fearing that it could lead to the dismissal of crucial research that does not meet the new criteria, potentially affecting public health and environmental policies. The article highlights the tension between the need for transparency and the risk of political interference in scientific processes, illustrating the ongoing struggle to balance these competing interests.
