Looks like #ScienceAdvocacy still matters for 2026 (jokes on you - it ALWAYS matters, but it’d be cool if the circumstances weren’t as dire 😖🫠)

The U.S. administration released the FY 2027 Budget Request this morning, proposing deep cuts to science funding once again. While there are similarities in the proposed cuts between FY26 and FY27, the final FY26 appropriations show the impact of advocacy in action.

The image is split into two sections. The left side features a quote on funding priorities by Sudip S. Parikh, AAAS CEO, with a small photo of the person below. The U.S. Capitol building is in the background. The right side shows a bar chart titled "Federal R&D FY26 + FY27 Appropriations in Billions." It compares requested and enacted funding amounts for NIH, NSF, DOE, and NASA in 2026 and 2027. Bars are color-coded to distinguish between 2026 requests, 2027 requests, and 2026 enacted law.

Happy National Science Appreciation Day! 🤩 Ok look - #science has had a rough year 🫠 and maybe doesn’t feel like celebrating. But Miles Arnett & @disha-patel3.bsky.social say that we must continue to celebrate regardless and continue fighting for #better. Read on Medium: medium.com/science-poli...

So amazing to co-organize IN Sci Comm Day again for early career researchers in Indiana. It is so important to communicate about our research and how science and science-driven policies can impact our communities.

Stance on Science is a nonpartisan initiative meant to inform the voting community about political candidates’ positions regarding science policy-relevant issues, and also shows how science policies can affect our communities!

When the Department of Education issued vague threats to defund schools that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, we sued and now they're backing down. This is a win for students' right to a full and honest education.
