STAT: Obama vs. Trump: Early report card on how health and science are changing
“…Three months ago, STAT looked at five key [health- and science-related] areas and assessed whether Trump was likely to diverge from Obama — or not.

But public health officials remain wary, after Trump showed a predilection for health conspiracies and fear-mongering while he was a private citizen. And, once again, Trump’s spending plans signal a major shift from the Obama years…” (Scott, 4/4).
