Facing a presidential administration committed to waging war on Science, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) this week launched a website to help scientists blow the whistle on government interference in their work.
[...] The website encourages scientists employed by state and federal agencies to share "memos, emails, directives, or any other documents;" to send "datasets or other information that has been altered or removed from public view;" and adds: "You can also describe anything that has been communicated orally or even rumors that you have heard, and we will investigate."
The UCS urges potential whistleblowers to use encrypted communications, anonymous email, and the postal service to send materials, and encourages following the Electronic Frontier Foundation's advice for protecting privacy.

Neither party is "the party of science". Both are corrupt to the core and will do and say whatever they believe will get them ahead.

Yes, the "other one," of course, as we all know.

Agreed, but the Republicans are currently the party of anti-science. The Democrats are no shining angels, but avoided blatant lies about scientific matters most of the time.
