Developing news – “Science under siege”
Posted by the Node, on 17 March 2025
An Editorial from the five Editors-in-Chief of The Company of Biologists’ journals
The Editors-in-Chief have written a joint Editorial, discussing the enormous challenges currently facing researchers in the US and how members of the community can support them through this difficult time.
“To our colleagues in the USA, we stand with you during this challenging period. The international scientific community recognises your contributions and the difficult circumstances you now face. Science is a global endeavour, and setbacks to research in one nation affect us all.
In these uncertain times, we must strengthen our international scientific networks. We must build new bridges of collaboration. We must speak with a unified voice in support of evidence-based policymaking and scientific freedom. Together, we can create a more resilient scientific community, with policies that strengthen rather than diminish research capacity. Science must transcend national boundaries and short-term political considerations.”
