@acs.org , speaking as an ACS member since 2008, I urge you to sign this letter by @ucsusa.bsky.social as well

Join them. Pick an action amd commit to doing it. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-situation--i-m-done-cooperating

Unfortunately, anti-science views are proliferating so Congress is unlikely to care. Many more scientific societies, nationally & internationally, are confirming increasingly severe effects due to anthropogenic global warming but the current Administration and Congress are unconcerned.

@4sweb.bsky.social let’s go team!

scaldararu.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Interesting to see so many biological societies on there but essentially none of the earth science and ecology ones. I'm not sure what that's a reflection of.

petergleick.bsky.social•11 hours ago

But at last look, AGU, AMS, AAAS were not signers...?

jacquelyngill.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Yeah, I was pretty surprised. I’ve tagged ESA and AGU in my second post. AAAS would have been a no-brainer.

jacquelyngill.bsky.social•11 hours ago

It looks like it’s open so they can still sign!

Thank you, #AAG, @geographers.bsky.social

@ecologicalsociety.bsky.social and @agu.org, I’d love to see you sign on, and I’m curious why you didn’t?

leafwarbler.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I reached out to ESA leadership about this when @whysharksmatter.bsky.social put out the call for signatures. Haven’t heard about why they didn’t sign on.

partridgecg.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Equally curious about @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social.

caballerogill.bsky.social•11 hours ago

me too, curious why we don't see @agu.org & @geosociety.bsky.social logos/signatures.

jacquelyngill.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Dr. Caballero-Gill, I swear I’ve followed you like five times! What is happening?

caballerogill.bsky.social•9 hours ago

😂 the intrawebs are moodie :P
I got my eye on you ;) they can't keep us from following each other lol

jacquelyngill.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Oh, and @aaas.org, surprised not to see you there. What’s up?

biogeoverse.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Definitely looking at other missing orgs like @geosociety.bsky.social and Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, Ecological Society of America… Come on folks.

jacquelyngill.bsky.social•11 hours ago

It’s an open letter, so fortunately there’s still time!

alisabokulich.bsky.social•11 hours ago

As part of AAAS-Section L (HPS) steering committee I reached out and encouraged the AAAS CEO to sign the letter twice (once in Zoom meeting & follow up by email) & he declined. Very disappointing...

kejames.bsky.social•11 hours ago

What the… ???!?

jacquelyngill.bsky.social•11 hours ago

That’s disappointing to hear. Thank you for your advocacy! As a member, I’ll definitely be letting @aaas.org know how I feel.

nature-is-grand.bsky.social•11 hours ago

That is interesting because ESA has been out front with messaging compared to our home society which has been crickets, other than signing this letter.

thermochronic.bsky.social•11 hours ago

@geosociety.bsky.social isn’t a signatory?
