The US government<br>\nemploys scientists working on medicine, public health, agriculture,<br>\nenergy, space, clean water and air, weather, the climate and many other<br>\nimportant areas. Their job is to produce data to inform decisions by<br>\npolicymakers, businesses and individuals. We are all best served by<br>\nallowing these scientists to discuss their findings openly and without<br>\nthe intrusion of politics. Any attack on their ability to do so is<br>\nan attack on our ability to make informed decisions as individuals,<br>\nas communities and as a nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a government scientist who is blocked from discussing their<br>\nwork, we will share it on your behalf, publicly or with the appropriate<br>\nrecipients.
