"The Environmental Protection Agency has taken the unusual step of putting a political operative in charge of vetting the hundreds of millions of dollars in grants the EPA distributes annually, assigning final funding decisions to a former Trump campaign aide with little environmental policy experience.

In this role, John Konkus reviews every award the agency gives out, along with every grant solicitation before it is issued. According to both career and political employees, Konkus has told staff that he is on the lookout for "the double C-word" - climate change - and repeatedly has instructed grant officers to eliminate references to the subject in solicitations."

Интересно, в NSF тоже теперь сидит какой нибудь Конкус и зарубает гранты, в которых содержится слово Э (эволюция)?
