An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Protect the US competitive edge in science and innovation!

16 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The United States is in danger of losing its competitive edge in science due to stagnant research funding and restrictive immigration policies. Supporting basic scientific research and allowing international students and scholars to study and work in the U.S. are crucial for maintaining our nation's innovative capacity. We must continue to fund groundbreaking fundamental research across disciplines and welcome the world's top talent to our universities and research institutions. These steps are essential to drive future breakthroughs and discoveries that will benefit society. I urge you to robustly fund scientific research and support policies that attract the brightest minds from around the globe to pursue their work in America.
