Carol Lee

Carol Lee is an evolutionary biologist who has recently made headlines for expressing her concerns about the increasing censorship in scientific research under the Trump administration. She highlighted the restrictions on terminology that researchers are now facing, with certain words such as 'diversity,' 'women,' and 'LGBTQ' deemed off-limits in grant applications. As one of the many academics considering leaving the U.S. for Europe due to the political climate, Lee's situation reflects the broader anxiety among scientists regarding academic freedom and funding in the current political environment.
