White House Report Promises Science Revival

The White House science office released a report named Science: A New Golden Age. It claims Trump can start a new golden era for research. The report tries to show that the government can fix the problems, but many see it as contradictory.

Researchers say they spend a lot of time filling out grant forms instead of doing experiments. The report promises to make the paperwork easier, but it never names a single rule that needs fixing. Because the money is uncertain, many scientists are worried about keeping their projects alive.

The document also points to the Human Genome Project as a success story, yet it forgets that the project involved scientists from many countries and shared data openly. Even though the data was shared freely, the new rules could stop that openness and slow down global teamwork.

It also talks about using AI to change how science works, but the ideas feel half-baked and the report mixes political complaints with Silicon Valley buzz. The mix of tech hype and political talk makes it hard to tell what the real plan is.
