"This year has brought unprecedented challenges to the U.S. research enterprise – sweeping federal funding cuts, capricious reductions in the federal workforce, and destabilizing attacks on universities, laboratories, and federal research agencies…In response to these challenges, we believe in and support: Public investment in basic science and the humanities…The need for broad access to validated, trusted information…Protecting and advancing freedom of speech…and ensuring research and scholarship remain free from political interference."
