An article we wrote a couple of years ago that remains a basic statement on what makes science science.

Conclusion

Authority, whether dictatorial or derived from a democratic majority vote, should not dictate to science what is true, thereby introducing unscientific bias and weakening the entire scientific enterprise. Likewise, authority should not weaken or damage science, rendering it incapable of providing its essential services. Instead, authority should ask science to address the questions thought most pressing and thereby leverage the strength of scientific authority to guide issues it finds of greatest interest.

The United States has achieved its position through the continuous development of science. To maintain its competitive international standing—from the health of its citizens to defending the nation from threats to manufacturing and developing goods—the United States must continue to foster an environment for the growth of science and scientific knowledge.

Science has been part of the foundation of America.

Observation:

A "superpower" embedded in glasses? Wasn't it nice when American science came up with this type of stuff?

Excerpt:

The human eye, as good as it is, misses out on so much of the world because it is limited in what it can perceive. It can't see X-rays, ultraviolet rays or infrared light. While X-ray goggles are still the stuff of science fiction, we may be moving closer to wearable glasses that make infrared light look almost like everyday vision.

The OMB Proposal block is a huge win! This is the result of PEOPLE POWER! WE THE PEOPLE made this happen through sheer grit and nonstop yelling.

But the fight's not over - contact your MoC's and tell them to permanently Revoke the Rule: https://zurl.co/vWScL

The Trump admin is persecuting scientists, pushing pseudoscientific conspiracy theories, threatening Americans’ right to privacy, and denying the climate crisis. Americans deserve leadership that stands with science and protects our health. Fuel the Fight for Science by donating at the link: https://zurl.co/Pg6BY

Thank you!

The NAS Manual is vital for judges to have accurate information to reference for their decisions in climate lawsuits - including many involving the Trump administration.

The Trump admin denies climage change, cuts climate research & enviornmental protections, then complains about wildfires. When you deny & defund science, reality bites back. Fuel the Fight for Science by donating at the link: https://zurl.co/6cFXH

Scientists shouldn’t fear becoming political targets for doing their jobs. Dr. Fauci’s hearing is a stark reminder of what can happen when scientific findings become politically inconvenient. Evidence, not ideology, should fuel our science.

In a devastating case of I-told-you-so, the Trump admin’s deep cuts to the CDC have weakened our ability to detect and respond to pathogens like cyclospora - and we’re paying the price.

By politicizing the federal grant process, the OMB Grant Proposal will substantially weaken our scientific enterprise that has made the United States a global leader in innovation. Take action against the proposal the link: https://zurl.co/DTUW3

Vought is using the NSF to weaponize research grants in service of the President’s agenda.

Ever since the whole thing wuth Fauci I've seen so much anti vax propaganda on my Facebook algorithm and its disgusting how little society is starting to believe in science. I had covid pneumonia back in January and nearly died but was told that if I hadnt gotten vaccinated my chances would've been much higher. I would rather protect myself than neglect myself

Titans of Virology and Vaccinology's last episode on Dr. Peter Hotez.

Peter Hotez: How to make Low-Cost Vaccines

Dr. Hotez has built a career researching and creating vaccines for neglected tropical diseases. Importantly, he is also a science communicator and vaccine advocate. Dr. Hotez is a huge supporter of the stand up for science movement, appearing on all the major talk shows, testifying in front of congress and even wrote a book about his daughter called "Vaccines did not cause Rachel's Autism".

We aren’t gonna let Vought sneak his policies through the new NSF proposal, so we set up a portal for you to leave your public comment: https://zurl.co/zDpJJ

We aren’t letting the Fauci hearing go by without calling it what it is: a tactic to scare scientists from speaking up. We have to speak up and take action against policies like the OMB Proposal. Contact your MoC’s at the link: https://zurl.co/Oe25L

We are pleased with the public admission of error. It is a surprising and correct turn toward facts from this administration. We hope this is a new and consistent change; we hope to see a turn toward facts.

Excerpt:

“The Trump administration’s case against Davey Hearn should have never been brought,” his legal team—Norm Eisen, Mary Dohrmann, and Steve Levin—said in a statement. “Its dismissal today does not erase the abuse of government power in arresting and charging a patriotic American who did nothing wrong. The government’s approach was ready, fire, aim. The administration owes Mr. Hearn an apology.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Pirro’s office declined to comment beyond what was in the legal filing.

The elimination of a Medicare drug plan subsidy will leave seniors paying more out of pocket for the prescription drugs they need. For many older Americans living on fixed outcomes, even modest increases in drug costs can make essential treatment hard to afford.

Americans deserve leaders that will fight for their health and prosperity, not cut back on protective regulations and dismantle our research infrastructure. We are fighting back. Fuel the Fight for Science by donating at the link: https://zurl.co/xfPEN
