It is superpower suicide to stop the best foreign minds from coming to the United States and using their talents to propel American prosperity and technological advantage.

Many science-related issues demand action at the state, local, and regional levels.

The National Academies support policymakers and communities in understanding and addressing these challenges through studies, events, and other initiatives.

Re: the attacks on universities, RFK Jr. and autism, etc. -- the regime keeps inventing problems so they can announce they have the solution, which was their goal in the first place. #gaslightingcanbefun

Chris, I've admired your work since your days at the WPost. You blew it on this one. Sorry to say.

The world is finding out what happens when the dog catches the car.

Science & the innovation economy are under threat.

"We hold diverse political beliefs, but we are united as researchers in wanting to protect independent scientific inquiry. We are sending this SOS to sound a clear warning: the nation’s scientific enterprise is being decimated."

Guess they decided to avoid April Fool's Day, which is where it belongs.

This is a profoundly important attack on American leadership in environmental science. #fightfightfight

There are no bounds of what is ethical anymore.

“Despite substantial investments in programs aimed at helping people from systematically minoritized groups enter, persist, succeed, and thrive in STEMM, significant gaps persist. [These gaps] are the result of systemic and structural issues arising from the legacies of policies and practices designed to disadvantage people from historically minoritized groups along with institutional cultures that, intentionally or otherwise, create exclusionary and discriminatory environments based on biased notions of success and prestige.” (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. 2023, p. 25–26) https://doi.org/10.17226/26803

Trump Killed a Major Report on Nature. They’re Trying to Publish It Anyway. The first full draft of the assessment, on the state of America’s land, water and wildlife, was weeks from completion. The project leader called the study “too important to die.”
