What made the U.S. a beacon for global science — and why is that now at risk? How has the Trump-era anti-science rhetoric damaged institutions of higher education and public trust? And can the EU’s Choose Europe for Science initiative fill the gap left behind?
In this episode of the Liberal Europe Podcast, Ricardo Silvestre (Movimento Liberal Social) welcomes journalist and author Robert Whitaker, publisher of madinamerica.com. They discuss the decline of scientific leadership in the United States, the political pressures undermining academic freedom, and how the European Union can rise as a global hub for research and innovation. Whitaker also shares insights on the state of psychiatric research and the dangers of false scientific narratives.
This podcast is produced by the European Liberal Forum in collaboration with Movimento Liberal Social and Fundacja Liberté!, with the financial support of the European Parliament.
