Science, \nas a base, is always true. Yet, it is interpretation that imparts human error. In other words, while science is a universal \ntruth, not everyone believes in the importance of science. \nConsider President Trump's 2018=budget request. Many of these call for massive cuts in spending on scientific research, \nmedical research, disease prevention programs and more. If these requests are met, the National Cancer Institute would \nface a $1 billion cut compared to its 2017 budget. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute could see a $575 million \ncut, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases would see a reduction of $838 million. The \nadministration would cut the overall National Institutes of Health budget from $31.8 billion to $26 billion. \nThe National Science Foundation, which gives $7 billion a year in grants to universities and research institutes, is not \nspecifically mentioned in the budget. However, unspecified \"other agencies\" are in li=e for a 9.8 percent budget cut. \nSince Trump became president, the official White House website also deleted all mentions of climate from the site — all \nbut one — the p=omise to eliminate the \"harmful and unnecessary\" Climate Action Plan= \nFollowing these actions, scientists and other employees of the EPA and USDA were told not to speak to the public about \nclimate change or other scientific concerns that should be addressed. \nPrivate Donations To Fund Science \nEFTA_R1_01851666 \nEFTA02631305\n", "char_count": 2342}, {"efta_number": "EFTA02631305", "page_number": 1, "text_content": "Due to Trump's anti-science policies and budget cuts, scientists are=20 looking towards private donors for funding. \nPhilanthropic dollars have now come to play an important role in scientific progress. \nThe successful American financier and philanthropist, Jeffery Epstein, is well known for supporting science; he is \ncurrently taking action to help a number of scientists thrive during the \"Trump Era.\" \n=/div> \nNone of this is new for Jeffery, though. Jeffery's fundin= for science dates back to the year 2000, when he founded the \n Jeffery Epstein VI foundation to support cutting-edge science \nand science education around the world. The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation has supported many leading scientists \nincluding Stephen Hawkings, Martin Nowak, Gregory Benford, Lee Smolin, Seth Lloyd, Lawrence Krauss, Artificial \nIntelligence scientist, Marvin Minsky and Nobel Laureates Gerard 't Hooft, David Gross and Frank=20 Wilczek. \nIn 2003, the Foundation established the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics<=a> at Harvard University, providing a $35 \nmillion gift to the university. The program is one of the first to study the evolution of molecular biology with the primary \nuse of mathematics. It also became one of the first departments to develop a mathematical model to show how cancer \ncells evolve as infectious bacteria and viruses such as HIV. \n \nLifeboat Foundation \nAmerican Financier and Philanthropist, Jeffery Epstein Subscribe to The Morning =mail Wake up to the day&=39;s most \nimportant news. \nWhile Jeffrey has donated large sums of money to help find a cure for cancer and infectious diseases, President Trump's \nproposed budget seeks an=$82 million cut for the center that works on vaccine-preventable and respiratory diseases, \nsuch as influenza and measles. \nTrump's budget also proposes a cut of $186 million from programs at CDC's=20 center on HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, \nsexually transmitted infections and tuberculosis prevention. One of the biggest cuts, however, is $222 million for the \nagency's chronic disease prevention programs, which=are designed to help people prevent diabetes, heart disease and \nstroke, and obesity. \n\"I have helped scientists for 20 years and I don't really believe tha= you can say you fully understand a particular \nproblem, unless your ideas can be tested against solid evidence,\" Jeffery said. \"But t= tackle those problem you need \nresources, and if you have them the results can be marvellous. For example, in one simple and elegant equation, \nmathematics managed to describe the whole motion of the planets that alluded men for ages.\" \nA Helping Hand Goes A Long Way \nPrivate donors who help fund science-based research and projects, such as Jeffery, are making a huge difference. When \nfederal dollars become tight, the donors who step in become the real heroes. And while private funds are not usually as \nlarge as federal funds, these donations can go a long way in terms of finding cures for diseases. \nFor example, HIV/AIDS was once viewed as a death sentence in the 1980s, but years of privately-funded research have \nhelped scientists understand the basic biology of viruses and the workings on DNA. The Program for Evolutionary \nDynamics, funded by Jeffery, is now conducting research in mapping colon cancer resistance to inhibitor drugs, mapping \nthe progression of pancreatic cancer, targeting the topology of minority mutations that drive tumor growth and creating \na database to predict and minimize resistance to HIV drugs. \n2 \nEFTA_R1_01851667 \nEFTA02631306\n", "char_count": 3716}, {"efta_number": "EFTA02631305", "page_number": 2, "text_content": "Robert Trivers is an evolutionary biologist and sociobiologist, who some consider to be one of the most influential \nevolutionary theorists alive today.
