‘Uncertain, anxious, fearful.’ That’s the mood at 2025’s first big U.S. science meeting

BOSTON — The official theme of the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, held February 13–15, is “Science Shaping Tomorrow.”

The unofficial theme is “uncertainty.”

With thousands of scientists, advocates and policy experts in attendance, AAAS is the largest science meeting to take place in the United States since the beginning of the second Trump administration. It’s happening against a backdrop of threats to funding that supports research, scrubbing public data from online sources and a purge of federal workers.
