There is a stereotype that the natural political activists in academia are the humanities professors.

But scientists also ought to stand up and organize against the Trump administration’s attacks on scientific research and integrity.

Scientists cannot see themselves as above the fray but rather in coalition with other workers resisting authoritarianism.

Scientists are drawn to the work we do for many different reasons, but there is an underlying goal of advancing humanity.
