More than 10,000 Ph.D. scientists were fired by the Trump administration last year. Grant cuts affected more.
"A few dozen got jobs in other countries" is not a serious solution.
There are not enough jobs in the whole world. The result will be less science, not the same science just elsewhere.

Dozens of researchers will move to France from US following high-profile bid to lure talent

I've been hearing people who are witnessing the impacts of AI on coding saying, "Aside from physical labor, the thing people should be focusing on is...mmm...I don't know what to call it..."
...and then they haltingly describe a liberal arts education.

What I appreciate from Wired though, and what sets it apart ethically, is that they just don’t tell a vague story about expansion but explicitly list out the locations to help the people preparing to resist this state violence. It’s very courageous.

New follow-up: Many people helped Jeffrey Epstein whitewash his reputation. Reputation management firms billed for thousands of dollars; SEO consultants jumped in; and when called upon, scientists did him favors that helped his Google presence.

Since the early days of the space program, astronauts have quarantined before missions because any illness could be disastrous. It’s eminently logical — not “extreme” — for athletes who’ve trained their WHOLE LIVES for one event to take similar precautions in order to stay in peak physical condition
For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

"Eliminate presidential immunity" needs to become as common a refrain as "eliminate Citizens United"
this case is maybe the single best example of one of the most destructive tendencies of this court: the tendency to treat their job as a collegiate legal seminar where they operate in hypotheticals rather than deal with the real world as it exists
