Katty Kay: This Is A Country That Is Not Recognizable When It Comes To Its Relationship With Science
BBC correspondent and MSNBC contributor Katty Kay on Friday’s “Morning Joe” expressed her displeasure with the status of science under the Trump administration.
KATTY KAY, BBC, MSNBC: If we’re talking about and we look at all the kind of all the stories we’re going to be covering this morning, there is a very profound remaking of this country going on. And the remaking of the country’s health and the remaking of America’s relationship with science and data seems to be at the center of this. When I put my kind of look at America from the outside hat on, this is a country that is not recognizable when it comes to its relationship with science and scientific progress. This is this is America that has touted its scientific progress ever since the Second World War, that’s been at the forefront of scientific progress. This is the country people from around the world want to come to to study science, to study medicine, because America is in the forefront.
