“Science Tsar”?? Another one? What are we up to, 30 of them? And all reporting to the executive branch with no elected accountability, no vetting or confirmation process, no public information about their salaries or responsbilities. This tsar thing is totally out of control and smells like serious scandal to me.
And why does he need a science tsar at all? He’s got the scientific heads at CDC, NIOSH, NIST, NSF, DTIC, USFS, DOE, EPA, DOT, NASA and many more. These should suffice.
