Statement of interest
I believe that the ASBMB has an important mission in promoting research in mechanistic biology and investigation at the chemistry–biology interface. Through its journals, conferences and policy advocacy, the ASBMB has historically been at the forefront in fostering rigorous and impactful science, education and training and professional development.
The ASBMB is known for standing for the values of scientific excellence as well as diversity, equity and inclusion. I embrace the ASBMB mission and values and would be proud to be part of the ASBMB Council in service of these goals.
I am concerned about the threats faced by science and scientists, including the loss of public confidence in biomedical science, reduction in financial support for research and the spread of false information. As a member of the ASBMB Council, I would view my role and responsibility as helping to promote enlightened, empathetic and inclusive approaches for disseminating evidence-based scienctific policy and practices for the betterment of our society, locally and globally.
