My lanyard was taken away and has not been returned. Louisiana police told me that if I set foot in the convention center I will be arrested.

I grew up in apartheid S Africa, where muzzling of speech and encroachment on academic freedom were the norm. I came to the USA to pursue a career in science. I never thought that at this stage of my career, I would ever experience my youth again. #StandUpForScience #ADA #ADA2026

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.

While there are some aspects of this EO that could be promising, like focusing research on prevention as opposed to reactive medicine, there are a lot of concerning specifics. I highlight here just two.

Science is absolutely key to the US's success but this government's intention to now dramatically reduce the part of the federal grants that go to the university (in addition to the researchers; the "indirects") is like removing the unseen roots of a tree and expecting it to continue to flourish.
