Twenty-four hours into his time, Sen. Booker just passionately defended public science and universities-- which, at their best, are cornerstones of democracy and a powerful tool for collective liberation (which is why they've been so aggressively attacked).

It’s a great time to make hybrid conferences the norm, the given, the expectation. Remote attendance options help to keep folks safe in many ways, including by supporting accessibility and equity (and it’s a REALLY good time to double down on that!!!)
A lot of global academic conferencing is centered around the US, and US academic orgs have to be thinking very seriously now. You cannot continue to carry on with in person conferencing as if foreign scholars have no impediments to travel.
