Earlier this week, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management penned an unprecedented memo: all federal employees were given an option to resign their posts. This call also went out to America’s thousands of federally-employed scientists.
Federal scientists are not hidden away in mysterious labs all day – they test our air and water for cleanliness, they develop next-generation energy sources, and they enhance the safety of our nuclear weapons stockpiles. Federal scientists and federally funded scientists are the reason the U.S. has historically been the highest-ranked nation for innovation. We’ve seen it in the form of space exploration, inventions like the iPhone and GPS, and miraculous medical treatments. Without them, we lose our edge as the world leader in science and innovation. They are not just scientists, but engineers, technicians, educators, and other professionals who come to work every day to make the United States safer and more prosperous.
To those scientists, we say: your efforts have not gone unnoticed.
While others tussle over the exact ramifications of the memo – we urge you to STAY. We need you. American innovation needs you, and the passion, curiosity, invention, and creativity that drives you.
Ad astra,
Federation of American Scientists

The Trump administration is removing all of the guard dogs in all departments and putting foxes in charge of the hen house. Is this really what Trump supporters want?
In 2000, we had shady dealings going on at a water treatment facility in Wiarton, Ontario. The result was one of the world's largest outbreaks of E.coli leading to 7 deaths and 2300 people becoming ill, some with chronic liver damage. I don't think American's fully realize just how dangerous this administration is becoming; not until it's too late.
