.@realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @WHOSTP Students as taxpayers already pay to support scientific discovery in the U.S. Our colleges and universities cannot afford and should not have to pay a second time to access the research students already paid for. #OAintheUSA #ZeroEmbargo

For the first quarter century of the Internet’s existence, scientists have stood by as publishers hid taxpayer-funded research behind paywalls. No more. It’s time for #OAintheUSA.
Proud to join 125+ other organizations to oppose a costly proposed Administration policy that would undermine scientific discovery, American jobs, & our global competitiveness. Read the coalition letter: presspage-production-content… @americanpublish @AmericanCancer @globalIPcenter
