Today the NPA expressed its concerns on behalf of the greater postdoctoral community about the growing number of state laws restricting the rights of transgender and other LGBTQIA+ individuals. The NPA addressed its sentiments to the heads of the National
Governors Association (NGA) and the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), associations of the executive and legislative branches across the states. "Research thrives on the exchange of ideas," said Tom Kimbis, NPA executive director and
CEO, "and that requires safe spaces for all of our postdocs and their families-- not just some." The NPA was joined by several ally organizations on the letter, while other individuals and entities plan to forward the letter along with a statement
of their own support to their state elected officials (find yours here).
