Federal travel restrictions will hurt scientists’ ability to collaborate, harm innovation, stunt economic growth

The New York Times recently wrote a story about the new federal regulations that will hurt scientists’ ability to collaborate on research, and therefore stifle innovation and economic growth.

In a recent Hill newspaper op-ed by APS President Robert Byer and ACS President Bassam Z. Shakhashiri, the authors wrote, “If scientists can’t collaborate, their research, which drives economic growth, would be severely constrained. And if they can’t communicate, project costs would rise, and taxpayers’ dollars would be wasted.”
