Nobel Laureates Endorse Harris
A letter from more than 80 American Nobel Prize winners:
At no time in our nation’s history has there been a greater need for our leaders to appreciate the value of science in formulating public policy.
The enormous increases in living standards and life expectancies over the past two centuries are largely the result of advances in science and technology. Kamala Harris recognizes this and understands that maintaining America’s leadership in these fields requires budgetary support from the federal government, independent universities, and international collaboration. Harris also recognizes the key role that immigrants have always played in the advancement of science.
Should Donald Trump win the presidential election, he would undermine future US leadership on these and other fronts, as well as jeopardize any advancements in our standards of living, slow the progress of science and technology, and impede our responses to climate change.
This is the most consequential presidential election in a long time, perhaps ever, for the future of science and the United States. We, the undersigned, strongly support Harris.
