Let's learn a lesson from the nearly 500K of us who mobilized to comment on the OMB rules. We can leave the sidelines, take action and it can make a difference. After 15 months of inaction, our scientific societies finally woke up and mobilized members. It doesn't stop there 1/n

Deadline to comment TODAY Monday July 13, 11:59 PM EDT Summary of disastrous proposed OMB rule sections to comment on (with section numbers to reference) here: elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/summary-of...

AAAS leadership speaks out against Trump administration’s attacks on science

President of world's largest multidisciplinary scientific society warns that next month could be most important in history of US science

chemistryworld.com

"After WW II, officials understood need to support fundamental research, the kind that doesn’t lead right away to marketable innovations. But such work is expensive. So universities & the federal government agreed to split costs. Now you’re seeing feds trying to walk away from that,” Dr. Thorp said.

As Trump Targets Research, Scientists Share Grief and Resolve to Fight

At a conference in Boston, the nation’s scientists commiserated and strategized as funding cuts and federal layoffs throw their world into turmoil.
