We’ve spent fifty proud years tackling the world’s most pressing issues.

The Union of Concerned Scientists was founded in 1969 by scientists 和 students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 那一年, the Vietnam War was at its height 和 Clevel和’s heavily polluted Cuyahoga River had caught fire. Appalled at how the United States government was misusing science, the UCS founders, including 亨利·肯德尔 和 库尔特·戈特弗里德, drafted a statement calling for scientific research to be directed away from military technologies 和 toward solving pressing environmental 和 social problems.

我们仍然忠于这一创始愿景. 纵观我们的历史, UCS has followed the example set by the scientific community: we share information, 寻求真相, 让我们的发现指导我们的结论.

这是一个强大的公式.

By mobilizing scientists 和 combining their voices with those of advocates, 教育517888九五至尊娱乐者, 业务人员, 以及其他关心此事的公民, UCS has built a reputation for fairness 和 accuracy 和 amassed an impressive history of accomplishments.
