Trump administration clamps down on media access to federal scientists - the change means scientists in many cases will no longer be able to talk directly to the media without first obtaining approval, including for breaking news such as earthquakes.

We think NASA's been spared bc the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 says that one of the functions of NASA is to

"provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof"

So to not communicate everything we do and all of our science would be going against the Space Act.

But we don't put anything past this Administration. They'll keep trying until they find a way.

Until then:
