Agriculture Department Lifts Clampdown On Its Science Division - BuzzFeed News

"The US Department of Agriculture rescinded an order stopping scientists and other employees at its main research division from publishing documents meant to explain science to the public.

In an email sent to scientists on Tuesday evening and obtained by BuzzFeed News, Chavonda Jacobs-Young, administrator of the department’s science arm, the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), told researchers the original order should not have been issued and 'is hereby rescinded.'

Earlier that day, the department fought off public backlash after ARS issued the notice to workers."
