Scientists IN Society: From Isolation to Engagement Scientists were historically encouraged to immerse themselves in research above all else. It's time to rid ourselves of that notion.

How did we go from decades of broad political support for US science & scientists to unprecedented attacks on their autonomy and independence? And how can scientists build stronger community connections today? Science Network member Christopher Fisher explores these questions and more in this blog.

every day it's a new stupid thing. :(

The last 100 days have been an unprecedented assault American science. Our scientists. Our institutions. And the people around the world who rely on it. We must stand united and speak up. Our collective future depends on it. #ScienceMatters savesciencenow.org

Happy Earth Day!

As the New President of UCS, I’m Ready to Get to Work New UCS President Gretchen Goldman is ready to hold the line against attacks on science.

On her day 1 as UCS’s president @gretchentg.bsky.social shares her priorities—and ours—at this pivotal moment for the US & the world. “From our roots fighting the military industrial complex to facing oil giants today, UCS has always insisted on and worked towards a world that better served people.”

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:

we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.

the climate crisis is here, all around us

Reach out to me if you have any questions about your project, or want some guidance for your application! Looking forward to working with you!
