"To counter the Trump administration’s erosion of independent science and build the nation’s capacity to use science for the public good, scientists from several committees that were disbanded have independently convened to offer policy recommendations on important issues."— @gretchentg.bsky.social

E&E News: Dismissed EPA science advisers reconvene under nonprofits

The Trump administration fired and replaced the agency's panel of clean air experts, while the children's health committee has been inactive since all of its members' terms expired in February.

US science is under assault like never before, but in response the scientific community can build an alliance for independent science--that can fill gaps left by the decimation of Federal science and reimagine the role of science in policy and society. 🧵 blog.ucs.org/genna-reed/u...

Today, EPA's Lee Zeldin announced rollbacks on key environmental regulations, including pollution limits for coal plants, climate rules & EV standards. He called it a “consequential" day of deregulation, but for those who care about clean air & water, it's one of the most destructive in US history.

A digitally edited screenshot of an EPA announcement features a headline that originally read "EPA Launches Biggest Deregulatory Action in U.S. History", but “Biggest Deregulatory” is crossed out in red, and above it, "MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY DESTRUCTIVE" is written in red text. Below the headline, there is a YouTube video thumbnail featuring EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, standing in front of American and EPA flags. A red play button is overlaid on his torso. The background of the image is dark, with black smoke rising from industrial facilities. At the bottom, white text reads, "This one’s a doozy" with an arrow pointing to the right.

Elon Musk, the unelected head of “government efficiency,” demanded federal employees report their weekly accomplishments—or risk their jobs. Let’s not ignore what federal scientists actually do. Here’s what they achieved last week (and every week)📤

Inbox Screen Graphic: "What did you do last week?" This graphic mimics an email inbox with a message from "DOGE" (featuring a Shiba Inu profile picture). The subject line reads, "What did you do last week?" The email is addressed to "Elon" and highlights the contributions of federal scientists. It reads: Hey Elon, Federal scientists across the country (we’re not just in DC, you know) got a whole lot done. This past week, we: 1. Ensured water is kept clean for drinking. 2. Certified food is safe to eat. 3. Performed life-saving medical research. 4. Forecasted the weather. 5. Saved the US billions each year by helping people avoid hospitalizations, prepare earlier for extreme weather disasters, monitor air quality, and keep the country healthier and more secure for the future. XOXO, Federal Scientists The background is a light blue inbox interface, and the message text is black. The closing "XOXO, Federal Scientists" adds a playful tone.

New Mexicans are out in force to oppose plutonium pit production at Los Alamos. UCS agrees- it’s unnecessary, endangers workers and the public, and confirms US failure to move away from a reliance on nuclear deterence. I provided commentary and encourage others to do the same.

Let's talk science and keep working toward a just and equitable world for everyone. I have been hesitant to start on another social media platform, but these don't seem like times to stay quiet.

🚨 The Trump administration is attempting to seize power beyond what the Constitution allows—giving Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, unchecked influence. As a federal scientist, expert, or civil servant, you have rights. Don’t let them bully you. These resources can help: act.ucsusa.org/4hqSJoz
