AGU Science Policy
@aguscipolicy.bsky.social
Bringing you the latest Earth and space science policy news to spark discussions, spur progress, and keep you informed.
The government is open and running on a continuing resolution until Jan 30—this hurts science by limiting funding flexibility.

Congress must pass full-year FY26 appropriations NOW at the highest possible level for science agencies!
