๐จ UCLA Science Policy Group is sounding the alarm for science!
Public science for the public good is at risk of being lost. We need to act now to protect our prosperity, democracy, & children's futures.
Joining @ucsusa.bsky.social to say: You need science, and science needs you. SaveScienceNow.org
We're so excited about this initiative! Connecting the dots between federally-funded research and the scientific breakthroughs and technical innovation we've come to take for granted has never been more important!
