9. US professional scientific societies have for too long been reluctant to stand up for science writ large, preferring a conservative tack and mildly advocating for their specific disciplines. This needs to change.

8. Despite many serious misgivings, I also urge a general strike by all federal scientists across the agencies (NSF, NIH, CDC, DOD, NOAA, DOE, etc.). The administration seems to think scientific expertise and practice is expendable. A general strike might help them see otherwise.

7. A critical mass of professional scientific societies needs to speak against this in unison, vociferously and rapidly. I urge you to take up this charge.

6. This must be meaningfully confronted and the risks made clear to the general public. Coverage by popular media is insufficient given the onslaught of crises they have to cover.

5. Believe me, China is not throwing the staff of its national scientific leadership out of its office like old fish. I’m sure this debacle has them eagerly anticipating the accelerated demise of US scientific preeminence.

4. It is destroying the foundations of our country’s leadership in science, technology, and engineering, and the edifice is rapidly collapsing, with dire implications for US economic prosperity and national security.

3. This brazen, cruel attack on the crown jewel of US science is a major escalation of what can only be described as a culture war on science in the US.

2. As reported in multiple outlets, NSF staff will be kicked out of their headquarters to give the building to HUD.

1. (of 10) @aaas.org @acs.org @agu.org @apsphysics.bsky.social @spectrum.ieee.org @ucs.org @science.org @cenmag.bsky.social We need coordinated leadership to confront the wanton destruction of the US scientific enterprise.
