He said he was motivated by the \u201cenormous cuts in science budgets\u201d Mr. Trump proposed during his presidency, as well as what Dr. Stiglitz described as the former president\u2019s \u201canti-science\u201d and \u201canti-university\u201d stances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While in office, Mr. Trump <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC5468112\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">proposed a budget<\/a> that would have led to a severe loss of funds for federal health and science agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Science Foundation and the Environmental Protection Agency. On the campaign trail this year, Mr. Trump has suggested <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/10\/us\/shut-down-department-of-education-trump.html\" title=\"\">shutting down the Department of Education<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI hope it\u2019s a wake-up call for people,\u201d Dr. Stiglitz said of the letter. \u201cA consequence of this election is the really profound impact that his agenda has on science and technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The letter also praised Ms. Harris\u2019s recognition of the role that immigrants play in advancing science and technology, both nationally and on a global scale. Immigration has been a key issue in this year\u2019s election, with both candidates promising a stricter approach than their prior presidential campaigns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many scientists are inclined to \u201cstick to their knitting,\u201d Dr. Stiglitz said \u2014 focusing on their research rather than politics, and on knowledge for knowledge\u2019s sake instead of the real-world applications that result from it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBut they\u2019ve recognized this is a moment where you can\u2019t be silent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/24\/science\/kamala-harris-nobel-winners.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 80 American Nobel Prize winners in physics, chemistry, medicine and economics have signed an open letter endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president. \u201cThis is the most consequential &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=117973\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=117973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117973\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=117973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=117973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=117973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
