One of the world’s largest and most influential scientific societies held its annual conference last weekend, which a Fox News Digital review found was littered with examples of progressive messaging, criticisms of the Trump administration, and “woke” workshops.
Attendees who showed up at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) event, held at the Phoenix Convention Center from Feb. 12-14, were immediately greeted at registration with identifier stickers that used gender pronouns such as “they/them,” “xi/xer,” “xe/xem,” and other descriptors that critics have alleged have little to do with science and biology.
During the meeting’s opening night, shortly after a 10-minute hoop dance routine from traditional Native American dancers, AAAS CEO Dr. Sudip Parikh told the audience that it’s been a “hard” and “tough year for science and scientists in this country.”
Parikh went on to blame DOGE for the “devastation” of “some of our science agencies” and the “president’s budget request” that “cut science by half” and, in his opinion, amounted to “forfeiting the future.” […]
AAAS, the publisher of the highly respected Science magazine, posted several more videos over the course of the next few days, many including speakers who criticized the Trump administration and injected politics into discussions.
“Colonial Legacies, Climate Crises, and the Erosion of Mobility Choice” was another workshop that scientists at the conference were offered and in an interview with “climate justice scholar” Jola Ajibade, she explained how climate change has benefited a “few wealthy people” while “low-income communities are displaced.” …

I flatly refused to attend that event. And that’s because they would not honor my request to be called “Your imperial majesty”.

A bunch of bigots they are.
Cut fraudulent Pseudo science
More...... More..... More
For many years the AAAS along with the ACS and APS have been descending into the hull-crushing abyss of woketardian, DEI (and, more recently, TDS) insanity.
I’m not surprised ping.
Don't forget the AIP.
...is now more about social constructs than science. Bravo! Here's your 'stupid' sign.
By Injuns?
That is what happens when you prance about with a bunch of Kansas City faggots.
You can call yourself anything you want....and I can call you anything I want, too.
Outside of the ivory tower, I'm more and more seeing business CEOs who have gone along with this crap for years beginning to understand that they are employing not the authentic and creative, but the propagandized and indoctrinated, and realizing that those are not exactly the people you want to run a business with.
Subscribe to Science magazine and you’re a member. It’s not really a scientific society.
And they destroyed the journal.
Cry harder, you fake phony frauds.
No, they're beclowning themselves and not science at all if they're using transvestite pronouns.
