The future of science is uncertain as we continue to await action by our policymakers on the proposed across-the-board budget cuts. It seems inevitable that there will be reductions in federal spending, but will these cuts be allocated in a way that devastates science research and education, threatens future economic growth, and erodes America’s competitiveness in the world?

As the world's largest general science and engineering society, AAAS will continue to speak out for balanced spending cuts. We will urge lawmakers to look for a bipartisan compromise that won't sacrifice our nation's crucial investments in science and technology. We will work tirelessly to make sure policymakers and the public are aware of the tremendous societal and economic benefits of increased investment across all disciplines of science.
