1 - Not one staffer said they’d turn to scientists first when facing a science-related question.

2 - Party leadership, lobbyists, and trusted friends-of-friends often have more influence than peer-reviewed studies.

3 - Scientists are unintentionally sidelining themselves by only engaging with one side of the aisle.
