In response to attacks on science, many ask what can I do? Building independent science is a constructive thing we can do! Here's a recent post from @science.org Editor-in-Chief Holden Thorp articulating this opportunity: holdenthorp.substack.com/p/focusing-o...
Focusing on constructive things to do for American science
Time to let go of the idea that the administrators are going to lead us out of this alone

If you are a scientist in a position to reconstitute or reimagine Federal science advisory bodies, @ucs.org has resources to help. Independent science advice is worth advancing--for the public, for decisionmakers, for the record and to counter misinformation. www.ucs.org/resources/in...
Independent Science Advisory Committees
Establish science infrastructure outside of government and ensure that essential science advice remains available for those who need it.

Don't despair. The US science enterprise is in unchartered territory, but we aren't powerless and there are big opportunities to reimagine the role of science in decision making for policy and for the public. We can build something better for the future and I'm all in.
