Seeing lots in my feed today referencing the @cos.io statement and @theguardian.com op-ed on gold standard science, and IMHO most people are worrying about the wrong thing -- it's not *closing down* the flow of science into policy that worries me, it's a radical *opening up* of data for reanalysis

I am a Northwestern faculty impacted just how you describe. My research - including an active trial
of cancer / cardiac disease prevention, part of a large national network - has been frozen, despite a notice of award for our renewal. Year 6 of a 6 year study. We are completely in the dark.
