Completely condemn the highly disappointing decision by @acs.org to take down and then amend their pages on Diversity, equity, and inclusion - www.acs.org/about/divers... - this is not what #RealTimeChem stands for.

Who runs the ACS? Is it a member-run organization that serves that membership. Or is it a money making publishing house. This move does real damage to the profession. This move does real damage to my colleagues and peers and trainees and our future chemists. Grow a spine @acs.org

Besides showing basic respect for human dignity, active inclusion and equal recognition of diverse standpoints work to correct long-standing social failures that sabotage science and scholarship. Attacks on inclusion must be met as attacks on the fundamental mission of higher learning.

My piece in the Hill Times today is relevant to the challenges Canada is facing in this new version of North America. Yes, the immediate issue with tariffs is the threat to our economy/trade. But the solutions are not just economic. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

Science is political. It wouldn't necessarily have to be partisan. But when one party is opposed to science-based policy, scientists have a choice between saying "you're right, thoughts and prayers are probably as effective as reducing carbon emissions" or saying "fuck that."

I keep thinking about what might have happened if people had listened to Patricia Williams, Charles Lawrence, Mari Matsuda, Gary Peller, Jonathan Kahn, and other actual critical race theorists about the shift away from racial justice towards diversity as a framework medium.com/space-anthro...

Also, a very strange way for the lawyers, financiers, and business leaders in the legislature to say that their specialties create no real economic impact

A surefire way to reduce the total economic advantages of research to a country is to cut off the parts that generate unpredictable or uncountable benefits

In a Nature survey, 80% of science-policy experts say their country’s science advice system is poor or patchy. I've written about the state of global science advice & what should change. www.nature.com/articles/d41... Thnx to @ingsa.bsky.social @transformevidence.bsky.social @jperkel.bsky.social

A nice thread and reminder that an apparent knowledge gap is far more often a values gap - knowing how to better reach a goal won't change the behavior of someone whose values don't align with that goal. Scientists base our judgements on our values, too, which *should include being open to new data

Science is political. Not only is it a human activity that uses public resources, but it also helps shape our possible futures - a power that some people refuse to share. We can't afford to forget that.
