The famous American Astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson, once said,
“The good thing about science is that it’s true, whether or not you believe in it.”
“The good thing about science is that it’s true, whether or not you believe in it.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson’s quote from The Colbert Report distinguishes the difference between opinion and fact.
Science, as a base, is always true. Yet, it is interpretation that imparts human error. In other words, while
science is a universal truth, not everyone believes in the importance of science.

Consider President Trump’s 2018 budget request. Many of these call for massive cuts in spending on scientific
research, medical research, disease prevention programs and more. If these requests are met, the National
Cancer Institute would face a $1 billion cut compared to its 2017 budget. The National Heart, Lung and Blood
Institute could see a $575 million cut, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases would see a
reduction of $838 million. The administration would cut the overall National Institutes of Health budget from
$31.8 billion to $26 billion.

The National Science Foundation, which gives $7 billion a year in grants to universities and research institutes,
is not specifically mentioned in the budget. However, unspecified “other agencies” are in line for a 9.8 percent
budget cut.

Since Trump became president, the official White House website also deleted all mentions of climate from the
site – all but one – the promise to eliminate the “harmful and unnecessary” Climate Action Plan.

Following these actions, scientists and other employees of the EPA and USDA were told not to speak to the

Private Donations To Fund Science
Due to Trump’s anti-science policies and budget cuts, scientists are looking towards private donors for funding.
Philanthropic dollars have now come to play an important role in scientific progress.

The successful American financier and philanthropist, Jeffery Epstein, is well known for supporting science; he

None of this is new for Jeffery, though. Jeffery’s funding for science dates back to the year 2000, when he
founded the Jeffery Epstein VI foundation to support cutting-edge science and science education around the
world. The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation has supported many leading scientists including Stephen Hawkings,
