Stance on Science is a nationwide, non-partisan initiative by early career scientists (at the @snapcoalition.org) asking candidates for public office questions on science and policy. Below are the questions we'll be sending to candidates in Maine. Let us know which ones are most relevant for you!

Honored to receive the UC President's Award for Outstanding Student Leadership! tinyurl.com/spg-award Facing attacks against the research enterprise, SPG took action to advocate for current & future trainees. We’re proud of our impact so far & committed to bridging research & policy moving forward.

Trump speech fact check: On January 2, 2021, during an hour-long conference call, U.S. president Donald Trump pressured Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes" and overturn the U.S. election results from the 2020 presidential election. abcnews.com/Politics/tru...

I've gone ahead and posted my comment on the OMB rule as an example of a hyper-focused comment that looks at one portion of the OMB rule. Here, I've tackled a part of the Rule I know a lot about (international research and national security) and cross-walked with a project I've worked on a lot.

What a Focused OMB Rule Comment Could Look Like — Stand Up for Science Foundation

Cole Donovan, Director of Policy at the SUFS Foundation, breaks down how OMB’s grant rule will undermine U.S. research, weaken international collaboration, and threaten American scientific leadership.

In 1863, Lincoln signed the National Academy of Sciences into law as an INDEPENDENT non-gov entity. Since WW2, we enjoyed pre-eminence in research. We benefitted from Germany's brain drain. We had the privilege of first access to next gen treatments before other countries. They looked to us. 🧪🧵
