ARVO supports Stand Up for Science
Recent executive orders have had various negative impacts on science as a result of cutting federal funding, halting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and more. In response, Stand Up for Science is mobilizing the scientific community and the public to protect science from political interference and censorship by hosting rallies nationwide on Friday, March 7, to defend science as “a public good and central pillar of social progress.”
ARVO staff will be attending the Washington, D.C. rally to show support for the protection of science. The event will take place from noon – 6pm EST at the National Mall.
If you are interested in attending the rally in D.C. or your local area, rsvp RSVP here. If you are unable to attend in person, you can still make a difference! Use social media to amplify the event and advocate for vision research.
