Inside world's top science society's convention bashing Trump, pushing DEI, pronouns: 'Felt like a funeral'
This feels like a quiet policy shift.
FIRST ON FOX: 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."

"What happened over the course of the last year is a rupture. We’re not going back, it’s not possible, too much damage has been done, too much has changed. There’s an entire generation of scientists that have a scar, a scar that is not going to go away," Parikh explained, adding that scars can "make us tougher" and "become almost shields" that "build resilience."
Parikh told the crowd that he warned last year that Robert F. Kennedy Jr was the "wrong person" for Health and Human Services secretary and said, "I still feel that way," which prompted laughter and applause from the crowd.
"It’s going to take protests, it’s going to take politics, it’s going to take the ability to not speak gibberish, all of that has got to come together if we’re going to fight for the inheritance of the enlightenment to continue to make this world a better place," Parikh said.
Workshops at the event, which provided gender-neutral washrooms, included a session titled "Mao-Mei Liu: Nurturing Diversity in Science is Resistance," and another called "Investigating the Role of Race in Clinical Decision-Making."
"Who Gets to Belong? Disability, Power, and Participation in Higher Education," another workshop was called.
