Maybe with all that is going on in the states no one noticed, but in the Netherlands the university of Twente has fired 46 people from the chem department. One of them is Jeroen Cornelissen.

In the Twente purge, they fired a father and a mother at the same time...
Eight departments are dissolved. These are Magnetic Detection & Imaging, Health Technology Implementation, Biomolecular Nanotechnology, Optical Sciences, Bioelectric signaling and engineering, Bioelectronics, Nanobiophysics and Complex Photonic Systems
Terminating faculty that you have sunk so much into...what a stupid waste.
while at thr same time complaining we're not becoming enough of a knowledge economy
