Proxmire attacked for ridiculing science at NSF
National Academy of Sciences president Philip Handler condemned Sen. William Proxmire for ridiculing National Science Foundation research. He warned that a House vote demanding congressional approval of all NSF grants is a step backward toward authoritarian control and endangers the peer review system. The piece also covers a separate Los Angeles suit accusing Gov. Brown of denying home care to thousands of disabled, seeking injunctions to fund homemaker services, and notes the academy’s defense of social science research.
