What You Can Do
The suppression, distortion, and manipulation of federal science has become pervasive. UCS is committed to pushing for reforms that will make it more difficult for any administration to abuse science.
Achieving substantive solutions to the problem, however, will require the persistent and energetic engagement of both scientists and citizens. Here are a few ways to get involved:
-
Scientists: Join the Restoring Scientific Integrity network to help us demonstrate concern from within the scientific community about the abuse of federal government science. By endorsing our call to action on scientific freedom and the public good, you will receive updates on this issue as well as opportunities to take action.
-
Share downloadable fact sheets about the issue with friends and colleagues; elevate awareness of the abuse of science by sharing this information in community and classroom discussions.
-
Report abuses of science. Please let us know about additional abuses of science that are not already documented by UCS.
-
Reach out to your scientific societies. Work with UCS to bring scientific integrity informational materials to meetings, place articles about the issue in society newsletters, and gain society endorsement of fundamental core values in science and science-based decision making. For more information, email rsi@ucsusa.org.
-
Support the Union of Concerned Scientists and ensure we have the resources to make this campaign successful.
-
Read about what our activists have been doing recently and what they've helped us accomplish.
