PETITION: CONDITIONS FOR ATTENDING LPSC 2026 Concerned members of the community have penned and signed an open letter to USRA/LPI and USRA outlining steps that we feel must be taken before we will consider attending LPSC 2026. These steps include restoring all purged abstracts (except those where NASA has specifically directed or first authors have requested removal), and committing to preserving academic freedom of speech at the conference. You can find out more here, and add your name (anonymously if you wish) at this link: https://forms.gle/G1yAxZqmDujbVDHR7 This petition will be open until the end of July. [Source: PEN newsletter]

Should #LPI and #USRA restore all censored abstracts? Should they commit to preserving scientific freedom of speech at #LPSC? And should they commit to not censoring #LPSC2026 submissions?

If the answer is yes, then sign this petition!

An open letter to the Lunar and Planetary Institute executive office, I am writing to ask that LPI provide a public statement concerning their ongoing attempt to both censor and rewrite history by removing previously published community meeting abstracts from their archives. LPI is a trusted organization that plays an integral role in the planetary science community. They organize not only the annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, but also a multitude of smaller community meetings and workshops. It thus came as quite a shock to learn that LPI has decided to remove any trace of abstracts that contain certain non-offensive keywords or that are on topics that could be related to the federal executive order attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Considering the 2025 LPSC alone, almost 100 abstracts have been removed from the program, being replaced with the text "item removed". Entire sessions have been deleted from the program, and the PDFs for the removed items are no longer accessible. In total, over 1000 LPI hosted abstracts are no longer accessible from the NASA ADS archive.

Why I will be boycotting meetings sponsored by the Lunar and Planetary Institute.

#USRA
United States of Russian America

Which do you prefer?

#USSA United States of Soviet America.
Or
#USRA United States of Russian America

The first doesn't make as much sense as the second but it recalls USSR.

#USRA
United States of Russian America

"Oh you're Russian? From the old world or the Americas?"

Since we are changing names on the map I'm going with #USRA : The United States of Russian America.
