I teach about this in my upper div oceanography class every year. My students design observing systems around the world based upon this as a model. I guess I’ll just teach about other countries’ systems now that the US is intentionally taking a back seat on scientific innovation and discovery. 😭
In this newsletter I outline important actions to take.
1. Submit a comment opposing the rule change.
2. Contact state legislators to ensure states are engaged with the impact at the state and local level.
3. Contact members of Congress.
4. Spread awareness.
This rundown is a great source:
The best time for scientists to realize that their survival depends on solidarity with humanists was six decades ago, the second best time is now.
If reading through the list gives you the reaction it gave me, pick the three things that scare you the most and specifically mention them in a call to your reps tomorrow

You can:
1) Contact your senators and reps, especially in coastal states.
2) Urge scientific societies and advocacy groups to speak out and mobilize their members.
3) Write op eds, posts, threads, etc. explaining what the OOI actually does and why it matters.
4) Share articles like this:

This one was somewhat novel; I can't recall seeing a visualization designed like this before (but let me know if any of you have!).
Trying to wrap my head around this very bad decision.

Important explanation of a myriad of different ways that the act of doing science will be prohibited by this administration. Topics of study, attending conferences, public communications, open access journals, and so much more.
