IFT joined with 152 other scientific and engineering societies, national associations, and universities to send a letter, drafted by American Association for the Advancement of Science, to President Donald J. Trump objecting to his executive order on visas and immigration. The letter explains the order “will have a negative impact on the ability of scientists and engineers in industry and academia to enter, or leave from and return to, the United States. This will reduce U.S. science and engineering output to the detriment of America and Americans.” Additionally, IFT President John Coupland, PhD, CFS and IFT Executive Vice President and CEO, Christie Tarantino-Dean, issued a statement expressing IFT’s concern regarding the impact this order will have on professionals who work on the science of food.
