Abstract
Last week, my colleagues and I went to the Palacio Nacional in Mexico City to deliver a petition signed by over 11,000 researchers in protest of the government's dismantling of science. One year ago, Mexico elected Andrés Manuel López Obrador as its new president. Many researchers voted for him, attracted by a campaign pledge to end corruption and violence and to promote science and education. Sadly, his actions have made things worse for science (see the News story on page 305). This cannot go on. Addressing poverty and corruption are not in opposition to social and economic investment in science and technology.
