“Genuine intellectual diversity requires time for reflection, institutional independence, historical depth, ethical questioning, & the freedom to pursue research unconstrained by immediate market demands. These conditions cannot flourish where knowledge itself has become increasingly commodified.”

Higher Ed Can’t Be Neutral in an Age of Brutality. It Must Choose Democracy.

Contemporary proponents of “institutional neutrality” fail to grasp that universities have never been outside politics.

Have you heard about the #OMBrule but don't know how to write your public comment? Come to the Power Hour! And here is some reading material in the meantime to share a perspective on what the proposed rule could mean for the next generation of scientists: sciencepolitics.org/2026/06/05/w...

Fewer trainees today will mean fewer scientific discoveries tomorrow.

Join @snapcoalition.org tomorrow at 11 a.m. ET for an OMB Public Comment Writing "Power Hour"! They will have a short intro to what the proposed rule is, advice for writing your comment, and then ~10 minutes for writing each section. Register here: tiny.cc/OMBpowerhour #scipol #science #OMBrule

A proposed OMB rule would allow political appointees to override scientific peer review when making federal research funding decisions. For ECRS, this isn’t abstract. It affects training, jobs, and future discoveries. Read more ⬇️ sciencepolitics.org/2026/06/05/w... From us @snapcoalition.org

You can join them and express your view on the proposed OMB regulations that would mean: * Political interference in funding decisions * Grants could be cancelled at any time & for any reason * Restrictions on collaborations and publications * Litmus tests for individuals/institutions.

Written by early career scientists from @snapcoalition.org who understand precisely what is at stake if politicians decide what and who gets funded. If this group of MS & PhD candidates (and a few recent PhD grads) can speak up publicly... then so can *you*. sciencepolitics.org/2026/06/05/w...

A reflection on why we appreciate science in the first place, and what must change for the future.

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...
