More on Trump and science

January 2, 2017 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 95, Issue 1

I’ve read Ms. Rita Hessley’s letter on page 5 in the Dec. 12/19, 2016, issue advocating “a strong and unrelenting pushback” to the “powerful members of science-focused congressional funding committees and putative presidential advisers [who] are unabashedly facts-denying, science-denying, evidence-denying, and of inquiry-free mindlessness.” I also read that she does “not mean angry outbursts of vacuous rhetoric.”

I am so confused.

Dec. 12/19, 2016, page 8:In the science news story about fluorinated azides, the reaction scheme depicts one starting reagent as C8H17Si(CH3)3; the molecule should have been fluorinated, C8F17Si(CH3)3.
