President Biden is hoping to add more teeth to scientific integrity policies across government.
Senior Correspondent
The White House on Friday held its first task force meeting to develop strategies for empowering career federal scientists, including through identifying incidents of interference in previous administrations.
Several dozen scientists from across government attended the inaugural gathering of the Scientific Integrity Task Force, which President Biden created shortly after taking office. Headed by the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, Biden launched the panel to combat political interference in the scientific work by federal agencies’ career employees. In addition to reviewing each agency’s policy for protecting against interference, the task force will examine what went wrong in recent years.
