Universities need to stop half-assing their response to the all-out assault on science (and higher education more broadly) if we are to have a hope of surviving. We should know that a concept of a plan is not going to work. Universities need to coordinate and take bold action or we're cooked.

The Trump administration continues to degrade America’s scientific establishment, causing widespread harm to the country’s broader interests and well-being. Last week, the Association of American Univ...

Stanford medical students speak up on the DoJ investigation into admissions: “We want to see Stanford enroll more Black, Latino and Indigenous medical and PA students, not for optics, but because they deserve to be here without having their success dismissed as the product of DEI.”

The DOJ is targeting Stanford Medicine's nonexistent problem

Akeke and Zhang defend against the DOJ's investigation into Stanford Medicine and advocate for the importance of diversity consideration in admissions.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

"Science is being destroyed across many agencies" say federal researchers. For my latest @nature.com piece, I spoke to 19 different scientists across EPA, NOAA, NIH, NASA, and USGS to document how science is being dismantled across US federal agencies.

Dismantling of US federal agencies will ‘destroy science’

From NASA to the National Institutes of Health, federal agencies conduct research that universities cannot. Agency scientists speak out about the irreplaceable facilities, institutional knowledge and ...
