Take Action Tuesday

, ,

#weekly_action - In this week’s actions, we fight for science on multiple fronts. 
1) Join Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) for a special webinar Aug 3rd 2p EDT update on the status of the budget discussions on Capitol Hill, review new tools and materials available from FASEB, and offer tips on how to get other scientists engaged in advocacy. 

2) Concerned by the new FL bill allowing challenges to school text book material? This is an excellent op-ed opportunity! Reach out to us if you are interested in writing an op-ed and would like support.

3) Does the nomination of Sam Clovis to the top science position at the USDA puzzle you?  Us too. We encourage everyone to reach out to your elected officials about this topic. 

Our mission is to serve society by making science open, inclusive, and accessible, and to transform society by fighting racism, patriarchy, and oppressive societal norms
