Artemis Accords The Ambassador of Brazil to the U.S., Ambassador Maria Luiza Viotti,  spoke with Science & Diplomacy on Brazil's approach to science and technology. This conversation is part of the Ambassador Conversation Series, which was launched in Spring 2021.

While the Artemis program is bringing humans back to the Moon, the Artemis Accords create a critical framework for civil space exploration. As part of Science & Diplomacy’s Ambassador Conversation Series, we discussed the Accords with several Ambassadors of signatory countries https://bit.ly/4tafzq8

All week you've seen the FY 2027 Appropriations dashboard update numbers without context but fear not: the PBR Report is now out!

AAAS Statement on U.S. Administration’s FY27 Budget Request | American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

AAAS is committed to advocating with our partners to protect funding for scientific opportunity and possibility. Read our full statement: www.aaas.org/news/aaas-st...

The image is split into two sections. The left side features a quote on funding priorities by Sudip S. Parikh, AAAS CEO, with a small photo of the person below. The U.S. Capitol building is in the background. The right side shows a bar chart titled "Federal R&D FY26 + FY27 Appropriations in Billions." It compares requested and enacted funding amounts for NIH, NSF, DOE, and NASA in 2026 and 2027. Bars are color-coded to distinguish between 2026 requests, 2027 requests, and 2026 enacted law.

The U.S. administration released the FY 2027 Budget Request this morning, proposing deep cuts to science funding once again. While there are similarities in the proposed cuts between FY26 and FY27, the final FY26 appropriations show the impact of advocacy in action.

Congratulations to @meredithwadman.bsky.social and @cohenjon.bsky.social, who were named finalists for the 2026 @nihcm.bsky.social’s Trade Journalism Award. 🏆
