Abstract
The start of a new administration usually brings some uncertainty: What issues will be most important? How will campaign rhetoric translate to policy? What is going to change? A little more than one year into President Donald J. Trump’s term, we now have some answers to how he differs from his predecessors—and we are beginning to see what it means for science policy and chemistry. Trump’s approach to a wide range of issues has been unconventional, and science policy has been no exception. Breaking with the tradition observed by most modern presidents, he has yet to name a science adviser and director of the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy, an important role that coordinates science and technology activities and policies across federal agencies and that has been filled since former president Richard Nixon’s administration. Trump has also been reluctant to support federal funding for science and technology.
