Ultimately, this is an all hands moment. Every action, no matter how small, helps push the defense of science and free expression forward. This is one of the most direct ways people can influence executive action, and it doesn’t have to be difficult.

ALRIGHT EVERYONE HERE IS THE OFFICIAL SUFS GUIDE TO LEAVING PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE OMB-2026-0034 PROPOSED RULE: www.standupforscience.foundation/policy-and-advocacy/the-sufs-guide-to-writing-public-comments (share with all your friends!)

Many of us suffered quietly as we saw the beginning of the war on science. The fear was real; everything unraveled so quickly. We ain’t keeping our heads down. In 2026, staying out of politics leads to our demise. When you protect democracy, you protect science. 🧪 blog.ucs.org/guest-commen...

I think this is the most important single action of the Trump era. We need to save American science. Write your comment today. Then share with colleagues in your Department, and urge your university and scientific societies to comment as well. Act now! 7/n

We are happy to have @carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social joining us today (and she is really squeezing us in!). We've been taking consistent, impactful action since March 2025 and we are just getting started! Would love to connect.
