<br>
The American Institute of
Biological Sciences signed a
letter, along with 150 other
scientific organizations, to
express concern over a recent
presidential executive order.<br>
<br>
The executive order, signed on 27
January 2017, prevents citizens of
seven countries from traveling
into the U.S. Federal courts
subsequently suspended the travel
ban while the case is being
considered.<br>
<br>
"The Executive Order will
discourage many of the best and
brightest international students,
scholars, engineers and scientists
from studying and working,
attending academic and scientific
conferences, or seeking to build
new businesses in the United
States," states the letter.
"Implementation of this policy
will compromise the United States'
ability to attract international
scientific talent and maintain
scientific and economic
leadership."<br>
<br>
Another letter circulated within
the scientific community has
received more than 42,000
signatures in opposition to the
travel ban, including more than 60
Nobel Laureates and 800 members of
the National Academies.<br>

<strong><span
style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Federal
Hiring Freeze</span></strong><br>
<br>
President Trump signed an
executive memorandum on 23 January
2017 that implements a hiring
freeze across the federal
government. Any positions that
were vacant at noon on 22 January
cannot be filled and no new jobs
can be created. There is no end
date specified for the freeze. The
military and positions related to
national security or public safety
are exempted.<br>
<br>
White House Press Secretary Sean
Spicer said the guidance would
halt the “dramatic expansion of
the federal workforce in recent
years.”<br>
<br>
Federal employment has grown from
2.78 million civilian workers in
2008 to 2.8 million employees
eight years later. Most of this
rise came from hiring at the
Department of Veterans Affairs.<br>
<br>
President Trump has directed the
hiring of 10,000 additional
immigration officers and ordered a
review of military readiness,
which could call for an expansion
of the military workforce.<br>
<br>
The White House Office of
Management and Budget later stated
that some newly hired federal
workers might see their employment
offers rescinded. Anyone who
accepted a job before noon on 22
January and has a start date on or
before 22 February can still
report to work.<br>
<br>
The White House is working on a
“long-term plan to reduce the size
of the Federal Government’s
workforce through attrition.”<br>
<br>
<strong><span
style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Concerns
about Science Gag Orders: What
Do We Know?
</span></strong><br>
<br>
During the first full week of the
Trump Administration there were
sometimes contradictory news
reports surfacing about gag orders
within various federal agencies.
Now that the dust has largely
settled, here’s what actually
happened.<br>
<br>
At the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), all grants and
contracts were frozen during a
‘temporary’ review. The agency
resumed issuing such funding on 27
January 2017. EPA’s release of
information on social media and to
the press is still limited,
however. The last tweet from the
@EPA Twitter account was on 19
January, the day before President
Trump’s inauguration.<br>
<br>
There had been reports of the EPA
climate change webpage being
removed from the agency’s website,
but this has not happened.
Information on climate change that
was included on WhiteHouse.gov
during President Obama’s tenure
was removed, but each
administration uses the site as a
tool for drawing attention to its
priorities.<br>
<br>
A report that caused significant
concern was that a spokesman for
the presidential transition team
at the EPA said that agency
scientists will likely need to
have their work reviewed on a
“case by case basis” before
distribution. Such a move would be
in conflict with EPA’s scientific
integrity policy, which prohibits
the suppression, alteration, or
impeding the timely release of
scientific findings.<br>
<br>
A similar report from the
Agricultural Research Service
(ARS) within the U.S. Department
of Agriculture was later walked
back. ARS chief of staff Sharon
Drumm sent a memo on 23 January
stating that “starting immediately
and until further notice, ARS will
not release any public-facing
documents.” Later the same day,
the Department released a
statement saying that its guidance
was “misinterpreted by some to
cover data and scientific
publications. This was never the
case; those data and scientific
publications are not covered by
the interim operating procedures.”<br>
<br>
Other agencies, including the
Departments of Agriculture and the
Interior, have instructed
employees not to post to social
media accounts or release other
information to the public. This
directive was not specific to
science.<br>
<br>
The Department of Health and Human
Services ordered employees to
avoid “any correspondence to
public officials.” Some members of
Congress have spoken out against
this gag order.<br>
<br>
The White House denied any
involvement in these communication
bans. “They haven’t been directed
by us to do anything,” press
secretary Sean Spicer said. “From
what I understand … [staff] have
been told within their agencies to
adhere to their own policies, but
that directive did not come from
here.”<br>
<br>
<strong><span
style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Delays
in the Nomination Process:
Who’s Next in Line for Senate
Confirmation?
</span></strong><br>
<br>
Several of President Trump’s
nominees who require Senate
confirmation have encountered
hurdles in their nomination
process. Currently, the Senate has
confirmed five cabinet nominees
and three others are likely to be
voted on this week.<br>
<br>
Rex Tillerson, former CEO of Exxon
Mobil, was confirmed by the Senate
on 1 February 2017. The vote was
primarily along party lines, with
three Democrats breaking rank and
supporting Mr. Tillerson for the
position. His confirmation vote by
the Senate was nearly delayed as
Democrats tried to question him
further on President Trump’s
recent executive order that banned
travel from seven mostly Muslim
countries.<br>
<br>
Committee votes on nominees for
Secretary of Energy and of the
Interior, Rick Perry and Ryan
Zinke, were delayed following
collegial confirmation hearings. A
notice of indefinite delay for a
committee vote was issued several
days later. Nicole Daigle,
communications director for the
Senate Energy and Natural
Resources Committee, said the
delay was due to a
miscommunication between
Chairwoman Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
and Ranking Member Maria Cantwell
(D-WA). She noted that Senator
Murkowski “wants to start 2017 on
a good footing with her ranking
member.” Senator Cantwell told
reporters that Democrats wanted
more information from Perry on how
he will deal with energy
efficiency and that they also
objected to a committee vote being
held without three days advanced
notice. Zinke and Perry ultimately
received bipartisan support from
the Energy and Natural Resources
Committee on 31 January 2017.
Currently, no date has been
scheduled for a Senate floor vote
for either nominee.<br>
<br>
Scott Pruitt’s nomination to lead
the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has been fought
fiercely by Democrats, primarily
due to his stance against certain
EPA rules and alleged conflicts of
interest with the gas and oil
industries. On 1 February,
Democratic members of the
Environment and Public Works
Committee boycotted the meeting
for his confirmation vote. To
bypass this situation, committee
chairman Senator John Barrasso
(R-WY) suspended the rules, which
require that a member of the
minority party must be present for
the committee to conduct business.
Republican members of the
committee then confirmed Pruitt by
an 11-0 vote. No date has been
scheduled a vote by the full
Senate.<br>

Comments on Paleontological
Resources Rule
</span></strong><br>
<br>
The American Institute of
Biological Sciences (AIBS) weighed
in on a draft rule regarding the
protection and preservation of
paleontological resources on
federal lands.<br>
<br>
The draft rule from the Department
of the Interior would create a new
permitting process for researchers
who want to collect fossils on
lands managed by the Bureau of
Land Management, Bureau of
Reclamation, Fish and Wildlife
Service, or National Park Service.<br>
<br>
In its comments, AIBS highlighted
the burdens the new permitting
system would have on academics, as
the four agencies will use two
different permitting forms. Even
when agencies have proposed to use
the same form, they have their own
instructions. The differences in
the instructions are significant
enough that an applicant would
have to complete a new application
for each permit they seek.<br>
<br>
AIBS also raised concerns about
the proposed prohibition on
releasing the location of
paleontological resources and new
criminal punishments for
scientific misconduct.<br>

to the Secretary of Health and
Human Services on reducing the
risk of antimicrobial resistance
(ARB).<br>
<br>
The council was formed as a result
of an executive order issued by
President Obama in 2014.<br>
<br>
The meeting focused on three
“buckets” of knowledge for
infection prevention in humans,
including best practices,
implementation, and workforce and
education.<br>
<br>
Opening remarks by Dr. Peter Lurie
of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) updated the
committee on the new antibiotic
drug approval process through the
Limited-Population Antibacterial
Drug (LPAD) pathway. This
streamlined development program
distinctively labels new
antibiotics with the words
“limited population.” The labeling
and correct use of these LPAD
drugs is critical in helping to
reduce new drug resistance.<br>
<br>
Other speakers addressed how
partnerships between scientists
from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC),
hospitals, and universities have
advanced innovative research in
infection control and prevention.
New investments include enhancing
detection, preventing transmission
of ARB, understanding
environmental factors of ARB,
antibiotic stewardship, and
microbiome protection.<br>
<br>
The meeting also addressed how
combating ARB is difficult given
that the workforce of infectious
disease physicians is relatively
small compared to other types of
physicians. Infectious disease
physicians are among the lowest
paid relative to other physicians.
Increasing pay may be one of the
methods to promote more doctors
into this career pathway.<br>
<br>
The next PACCARB public meeting
will focus on animal health and
will be held on 3-4 May 2017.<br>

<strong><span

to Help Scientists Develop
Interdisciplinary Skills
</span></strong><br>
<br>
Reports abound from professional
societies, the Academies,
government agencies, and
researchers calling attention to
the fact that science is
increasingly an
inter-disciplinary,
trans-disciplinary,
inter-institutional, and
international endeavor. In short,
science has become a "team sport."<br>
<br>
There is a real and present need
to better prepare scientists for
success in this new collaborative
environment. The American
Institute of Biological Sciences
is responding to this call with a
new program for scientists,
educators, and research managers.<br>
<br>
Team science is increasingly
common in 21st century biological,
life, and environmental sciences.
Collaboration is no longer limited
to sharing ideas with the
biologist in the lab next door.
The questions confronting science
often require teams that may
include a mix of computer and
information scientists, physical
and social scientists,
mathematicians, ethicists, and
even policy and management
experts, as well as community
stakeholders and citizen
scientists. Adding to this
complexity, teams span programs
within organizations, cross
organization boundaries to form
institutional consortia, and often
include international partners.<br>
<br>
This intensive, two-day,
interactive, professional
development course was developed
by scientists and experts on
collaboration and teamwork to
provide participants with the
knowledge and skills required to
become productive and effective
members of scientific teams.<br>
<br>
Nothing teaches collaboration like
practicing collaboration. This is
not a course that asks you to
learn in isolation. It is a
microcosm of scientific
collaboration, with extensive
hands-on learning as part of a
scientific team.<br>

Legislative Action Center</a>.
The Legislative Action Center is a
one-stop shop for learning about
and influencing science policy.
Through the website, users can
contact elected officials and
sign-up to interact with
lawmakers. The website offers
tools and resources to inform
researchers about recent policy
developments. The site also
announces opportunities to serve
on federal advisory boards and to
comment on federal regulations.<br>
<br>
This new tool is made possible
through contributions from the
Society for the Study of
Evolution, Association for the
Sciences of Limnology and
Oceanography, and the Botanical
Society of America. AIBS and our
partner organizations invite
scientists and science educators
to become policy advocates today.
Simply go to <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__aibs.us1.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3Da2886d199362c2554974f78af-26id-3D17ff98a69a-26e-3D6708ed45cf&d=CwMGaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=KBj8iuTKjE_sWuBMaxRRxVpaH0TRZEccXrnuZSvhcuQ&s=J8TpbKHbRHIacg1s8-U2Zn3AJ0hXyMBnGZzi8QHFlKY&e=">policy.aibs.org</a>

American Institute of Biological
Sciences is a nonprofit 501(c)(3)
scientific association dedicated
to advancing biological research
and education for the welfare of
society. AIBS works to ensure that
the public, legislators, funders,
and the community of biologists
have access to and use information
that will guide them in making
informed decisions about matters
that require biological knowledge.
The organization does this through
informing decisions by providing
peer-reviewed or vetted
information about the biology
field and profession and by
catalyzing action through building
the capacity and the leadership of
the community to address matters
of common concern.<br>
<br>
Founded in 1947 as a part of the
National Academy of Sciences, AIBS
became an independent,
member-governed organization in
the 1950s. Today, AIBS has over
140 member organizations and is
headquartered in Reston, VA, with
a Public Policy Office in
Washington, DC. Its staff members
work to achieve its mission by
publishing the peer-reviewed
journal
<em><span
style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">BioScience</span></em>
and the education Web site
<em><span
style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">ActionBioscience.org</span></em>,
by providing scientific
peer-review and advisory services
to government agencies and other
clients, and by collaborating with
scientific organizations to
advance public policy, education,
and the public understanding of
science.<br>
