Kelvin Droegemeier used his first public address to laud the Trump administration’s achievements but dodged a Q&A session with the audience
Delivering his first speech as President Trump’s White House science adviser on 15 February, atmospheric scientist Kelvin Droegemeier said science and technology are ‘alive and well in the Trump administration’ and that he stands ready to work with the scientific community. However, scientists were not given the usual opportunity to put questions to Droegemeier at a packed session of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in Washington DC.
