Article Abstract:

The American science community has accused U.S. President George W. Bush and his administration for not promoting science and for being harder on science than previous commanders-in-chief. The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) have launched a UCS Web site that has complied a list of reported Bush administration abuses, ranging from adding information linking breast cancer to abortion, suppressing reports on climate change and misinterpreting the data publicly.

The inequality of science

Article Abstract:

An estimate in 2004 revealed that USD and UND received $10 million and $8 million from the National Institute of Health, respectively, amounting to a barely one percent of that given to the top-funded school that year resulting in inequality in funding. Between 1994 and 2004, in the rankings of universities and colleges according to total R&D expenditures in biological sciences, the differences between the number one school and 100th school more than doubled.
