NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

Today, the AAUP Yale Chapter releases our report on The State of Academic Freedom at Yale. Uncertain that university leaders will protect academic freedom when tested, Yale faculty are managing risk alone and making changes that narrow what Yale teaches, researches, and communicates to the world.
