Whenever I read articles like this, I'm reminded of forthcoming "War on Science" wherein Krauss, Peterson, Wax, & co argue that ideological capture by the *left* is destroying science. At best, poor timing. At worst, authors are actively abetting right-wing authoritarian project to destroy science.

If you’re already being attacked. If everyone is losing funding anyways. If the threats to our students are this severe. Then we need to speak out — about our research and about the current threats and the consequences. The public generally trusts scientists. We need to talk with the people.

It’s very strange that this article on the staffing issues at Newark Airport doesn’t mention the fact that DOGE fired 400 FAA employees a few months ago, and union officials warned about exactly these kinds of shortages.

Great article with lots of perspectives from scientists who are scared to speak out — and other scientists who are scared of what will happen if they don't. Trump & Musk & Kennedy are devastating U.S. research and setting progress back decades www.science.org/content/arti... on @science.org

Useful thread about the restructuring of NSF. Expertise out. Political priorities in. Our science will suffer.

Its educational impact is massive! In addition to the educational programs you mention, I and so many others have had many students learn the principles of scientific research by working on our grants.

Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb.)

This is an absolute outrage! Why destroy our nation's highest quality scientific research programs? I've benefited from multiple NSF grants during my career and am both heartbroken and furious at this bullheaded act.

“The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity. The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. They ultimately risk undermining our Constitution and the rule of law.” -Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
