What’s especially wild (legally) about this is that NSBP, NSHP, and SACNAS have always welcomed people of all backgrounds, including white people. NSHP has had a white president, my SACNAS leadership institute class has several white members, and NSBP has a sizable white membership.
Very bad: OSU unilaterally cancelled the registration of grad students attending the joint conference of the National Society of Black Physicists and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists. And OSU won't fund recruiting at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science.
Ohio State changes policy on group conferences after Trump administration threats
A federal investigation into potentially discriminatory practices at Ohio State prompted the university to change its policies regarding conferences.

Great article by @alexwitze.bsky.social on hurdles to attend SACNAS and NSBP/NSHP this year, with quotes from me & @astrojennifer.bsky.social: "even with all the barriers and uncertainties, people showed up, supported one another, and shared their science and stories with honesty and resilience". 👏
Following Trump's DEI cuts, attendance has plunged at some conferences for scientists from underrepresented groups. The loss of federal support means fewer chances for people to network, share science, and develop new career paths.
Still, attendees say "the sense of solidarity remains strong".

As a white woman in science, I do/don’t fit in the status quo. The experience described here sounds like my experience attending NSBP-NSHP over the years: the wonderful sense of community and mutual celebration that is intentionally part of those events (and mostly absent from status quo ones)
Your isolation is not accidental. It’s intentional.
A client of mine recently attended two international tech conferences and reached out to share his experience.
The first, he said, was “status quo white dudes and a handful of women.” The second, Mozilla Festival, felt completely different:

Federal funding has been cut for the NSBP annual conference. Travel awards support all students to attend, present, network, and learn at (IMO) the best national physics conference. This is a HUGE loss to the scientific community. ⚛️ 🔭
