The members are concerned that political appointees at the #State Dept, which manages the program, are acting illegally by canceling the awarding of #Fulbright #scholarships to almost 200 American #professors & #researchers who are prepared to go to #universities & other #research institutions overseas starting this summer, …including Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH).

@helenczerski Yes, it's infuriating, but we must keep fighting! Use our new toolkit for contacting elected officials to demand they #DefendResearch. Make calls with our script & background information (with testimonials from #researchers), then share with your networks and ask them to do the same! https://www.defendresearch.org/take-action/toolkits-for-action

⚠️ Academics and Researchers !! 👋

I'm running a study looking at how academics/researchers get feedback on their research and we need just a few more responses. If you'd like to help, the online survey is here:

You're compensated with twenty of the finest English pounds (or international equivalent) for a few minutes, and it's all anonymous!
