Trump 2.0: an assault on science anywhere is an assault on science everywhere US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand against these attacks.

TRUST partners in Africa are affected very heavily by the #USAid freeze, just as noted in this brilliant editorial:

Screencap of American Geophysical Union DEI website, reading "Diversity and Inclusion" on a banner above a link to the "Diversity & Inclusion Strategic Plan" and a title "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at AGU" above a paragraph "As an organization that serves a large, global community of Earth and space scientists, AGU is committed to efforts promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our recently adopted strategic plan works toward the vision that “Diversity and Inclusion are recognized and celebrated as being essential for the success of AGU, its members, and the global Earth and Space Science enterprise." We encourage you to learn more about our work, our progress, and how to get involved. "

IT'S BACK!

It's a good sign to see organizations like @agu.org prioritize the values of the members that have built (and are continuously building) them. Watching the words and actions of scientific societies is not a one-time thing; it takes continued effort from the scientific community.
