When political ideology interferes with scientific research, American innovation and progress crumbles. A paper on evolution that was planned for a special edition of a Royal Society journal was withdrawn after authors feared potential political retaliation could lead to deportation. #ScienceSky

A really cool new study on the impact of climate activism has just dropped! Some highlights: 1) "There is strong evidence that climate activism shifts public opinion and media coverage in a pro-climate direction, but this varies by context and the tactics employed."

We are devastated to report that NABT President-Elect Lindsey (Carter) Fields was aboard the AA Airlines 5342. This is a tremendous loss. Please keep Lindsey, the other victims, and their families in your hearts. We also ask that you respect the privacy of her loved ones at this time.

The world has changed before and, when it did, it wasn’t because a president, a prime minister, a CEO or a celebrity decided it had to. It began when ordinary people – people of no particular power, wealth, or fame – decided that the world could and should be different.

I just got back from a conference, and let me tell you what I learned about moving forward in these United States: We can't let them take our joy, and they will not take away science. The first priority is caring for one another. Building and growing equitable communities is winning.
