On March 3rd, 2025, SCBNA was one of the 48 societies representing nearly 100,000 scientists and experts that, in an open letter organized by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), called on Congress to protect the future of science. SCBNA President Rebecca Hufft further expressed our stand for scientists and scientific research in a recent press release by UCS: "Those working in the fields represented by this letter are committed to serving the greater good, making Americans safer and healthier. The uncertainty created by recent orders and threats to scientific integrity will have lasting impacts on both current and future generations of scientists. The wide range of disciplines united against these threats underscores how deeply these decisions affect every community in the country."
