🚨 URGENT RESPONSE CALL 🚨

Trump’s Fool’s Gold Science EO is a dangerous sham.
It gives his appointees the power to dismiss entire bodies of research and punish researchers who fail to fall in line with his agenda.

We’ve launched an open letter.

Science is actively being attacked by the Trump administration. We need to stand against these threats. There has already been massive firing of federal workers (affecting WSU USDA PIs directly), threats to cut research funding, censorship of DEI research and freezes to government research at NIH.

It's so sad to see mechanisms built to improve diversity in science are now actively punishing anyone from an underrepresented background. This is unacceptable.
Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

Worst week for science EVER.

Sunday: ASM scrubs DEI mentions from website.

Tue: NASA scrubs DEI from website; ICE arrests a student on campus; NSF plans to cut staff; USAID halted.

Wed: HHMI kills diversity program; NIH trashes applications for diversity F grants.

Fri: NIH cuts indirects.
