“Years from now, when we look back, I hope we’ll say this was the inflection point ... when we stood up for science, for truth and for each other. When we built something stronger—not in spite of the pressure, but because of it.” —APS CEO Scott Steen #APS2025 11/11🧪

“Now is the time to act—with focus, with urgency and with unity. Every one of us has a role to play … and APS is here to support you.” —APS CEO Scott Steen #APS2025 #WeArePhysiology 10/11 🧪

“We must expand our #advocacy ... we must defend science itself. Yesterday, 70 attendees of this meeting ... took that message directly to Capitol Hill. This is just the beginning.” —APS CEO Scott Steen #APS2025 #WeArePhysiology #APSHillDay 9/11 🧪

“And within the first year, every one of our journals met their goals. That means more scientific content is now openly accessible, with no added cost to authors.” —APS CEO Scott Steen #APS2025 #WeArePhysiology #S2O 8/11 🧪

“Our commitment is also reflected in our publishing strategy. Just last year, we launched our new publishing model: #SubscribeToOpen.” —APS CEO Scott Steen #APS2025 #WeArePhysiology #S2O 7/11 🧪

“APS has convened a task force of some of the nation’s leading scientists—including Nobel Laureates and National Academy members—to offer recommendations that will elevate excellence across our organization.” —APS CEO Scott Steen #APS2025 #WeArePhysiology 6/11 🧪

“A different kind of leadership is required ... We must become stronger, more visible advocates for the discipline of physiology itself.” —APS CEO Scott Steen #APS2025 #WeArePhysiology 5/11 🧪

“This is not the moment for silence or neutrality. It’s the moment for clarity, for solidarity and for resolve.” —APS CEO Scott Steen #APS2025 #WeArePhysiology 4/11 🧪

“A scientific community that fails to reflect the diversity of our society is not only unjust, it is incomplete. Innovation thrives when a broad range of experiences and perspectives come to the table.” —APS CEO Scott Steen #APS2025 #WeArePhysiology 3/11 🧪

“Science is being rebranded—not as a public good, but as a partisan tool. Regardless of your personal politics, that should alarm every single one of us.” —APS CEO Scott Steen #APS2025 #WeArePhysiology 2/11 🧪

“We are entering an era of intensified scrutiny, constrained funding and politicized science … Research institutions are facing chilling pressure.” —APS CEO Scott Steen #APS2025 #WeArePhysiology 1/11 🧪

Normalize being nice.
