Update. From #MikeTaylor (@mike): "#Musk…in the last few months has possibly done more to impede the progress of science worldwide that literally any other person in history…I will not submit any of my papers to #RoyalSociety journals, as I have done in the past, and I urge others to take the same step. Similarly I will no longer be providing peer reviews for Royal Society journals, and I urge every other scientist also to withhold voluntary professional labour. And I will no longer contribute to their conferences, and urge others to join me in this."

Update. #MikeTaylor (@mike) amplifies Bishop and Curry's call in his own new open letter.
https://svpow.com/2025/02/11/dear-royal-society-please-stop-lending-legitimacy-to-elon-musk/"Musk’s behaviour in every field has been the antithesis of that described by the Society’s Code of Conduct: “selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership”… Now #Musk is an influential member of a US presidential administration that is actively impeding the progress of science on a scale not seen since the darkest days of the USSR, through censorship, catastrophic defunding, dismantling of infrastructure, and withdrawal from international coalitions. Added to this, his vindictive personal behaviour in targeting individuals contravenes every standard of decency."

Paper by @brembs et al - unfortunately I cannot yet find co-authors or the Royal Society itself on Mastodon! Timely to follow the excellent recommendations & principles articulated here...
