The Current War On Science, Who's Behind It And Why

02 Oct 2025 | Abstracted from Arstechnica

Science Under Siege asserts the undermining of science is not accidental but largely driven by ideological, economic, and political forces. It points fingers at special interests, political actors, and media amplifying doubt for gain. It also critiques how scientists themselves sometimes contribute by failing to communicate clearly or by letting funding and institutional pressures interfere with objectivity. The result: erosion of public trust, polarized discourse, and weakened science-based policy.
