Senate Whistleblower Bill Leaves Out Protection for Scientists

From the Union of Concerned Scientists:

The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs today approved the Federal Employee Protection of Disclosures Act. While the legislation would strengthen protections for federal whistleblowers who expose waste, fraud and abuse of power, it fails to address scientists who expose the manipulation, distortion, or suppression of their work, according the Union of Concerned Scientists.
