The Office of the French Academy of Sciences expresses its support for the public statement [Read the public statement on threats to science in the United States] issued by a working group composed of members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the U.S. National Academy of Medicine (NAM) and the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE) concerning the growing threats to science.
This statement alerts us to the growing impediments to the independence of scientific research in the United States and to the fundamental principles that govern it. Already signed by over 1,900 scientists, engineers and healthcare professionals, it testifies to an unprecedented mobilization in favor of the freedom and integrity of science.
Faithful to the mission of the French Academy of Sciences to encourage, support and protect the spirit of scientific research, the Bureau joins their fight and invites the entire scientific community to show its support by massively sharing this declaration.
A document bringing together all the signatories will shortly be published to reflect the scale of this mobilization
