An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Halt the decimation of US science communities!

24 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The Trump administration's assault on scientific research and funding is jeopardizing America's global leadership in innovation. With severe budget cuts, mass layoffs of experts across agencies like the NIH and FDA, and the removal of public scientific data, the administration is dismantling the nation's robust research infrastructure built over decades. An overwhelming 75% of U.S. scientists are now considering leaving the country due to this hostile environment. If this brain drain occurs, it could take generations for American science to recover, allowing other nations to surpass us. Immediate action is needed to restore funding, respect scientific integrity, and create conditions for top researchers to continue their vital work that drives new discoveries and economic growth. The consequences of further deterioration will be disastrous for public health, technological advancement, and national competitiveness. We urge reversing these destructive policies before irreversible damage is done.
