Someone asked me the other day*:
How do we replace all the science that’s being lost across the US as NIH, NSF etc are being lawlessly destroyed?
The answer is: we cannot. It is impossible.
The task now is to defend #NIH and public funding for medical research.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

Europe’s choice is clear.
To put science at the heart of its economy.
To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration.
And to welcome talent from all over the world.
I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative.

I now have two potential alternatives to St. Patrick’s Day. 1. Sympatrics Day, where we celebrate the other creatures that we share our environment with. 2. St. Natrix Day, where we celebrate the genus of snake that would probably live in Ireland if they were snakes in Ireland. Suggestions welcome.

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.
History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well.

I can only assume that everyone in the Trump administration and the voters supporting him must have watched every movie and heard every story and said to themselves “that villain seems cool”
How does one miss the point of the last 2000 years?

May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here.
What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.
