EVENT INVITATION Defending Science and Scientific Integrity in the Age of President Trump Dear Michele, It is still uncertain what role science will play in this new administration and our federal government. Last week, we saw a slew of attacks from President Trump's administration on federal scientific agencies and their ability to communicate with the public. This week, the president issued a reckless executive order requiring federal agencies to eliminate two regulations for every new one they enact. This year the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) 2017 Annual Meeting will be held in Boston. With so many scientists and experts in town, we wanted to take time to have a panel discussion about the consequences of political interference in science. Please join the Union of Concerned Scientists for a discussion that will focus on specific strategies for scientists and science institutions to defend science, scientists, and science-based policymaking. Defending Science and Scientific Integrity in the Age of President Trump Date: Saturday, February 18 Time: 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. Location: Sheraton Boston Hotel (Back Bay A Room), 39 Dalton St., Boston, MA 02199 RSVP today to secure your spot.
