This is absolutely horrible. And the consequences will be held for decades.

Not a good time to be an American in the U.S. either.

This is insanity and all very well planned out..survival of the fittest....whoever has the most guns and money wins!!!!

Canada will happily welcome these wonderful researchers!

Science will continue to tell us The world is dying.

I don't think science is ever independent of politics, but science should have much more influence on politics and policy.

March for Science tomorrow in DC. 12:00. Last I heard it was at the Lincoln Memorial but do research to be sure of location. Let’s stop crying and start fighting for our country!

There is a march in boston too

Trump seriously likes his uneducated followers!

😑

nlstuever.bsky.social•3 days ago

And he’s determined to punish those whose education enables them to see through his bluster, bullshjt, and stupidity.

Maybe Zuckerberg and a few others could step up alongside the Gates Foundation to restore needed funding until this pestilence has passed.

Good time for paradigm shifts as the old guard weakens?

If we're smart, Canada could start a brain drain from the USA.
It would fit with our culture AND boost our economy.

It's already happening. A doctor buddy of mine was talking to a doctor he went to school with, has some bizzarely specific combination of skills who has started filing paperwork to move here entirely because of trump.

I keep hoping that the Federal and Provincial governments will recognise the opportunity for the golden chance it is and actually put some money where their mouths are. We could, once again, become a powerhouse of research and innovation. Especially in medicine and alt. energy

🥸Abolish all transgenic research!🧐

They seem to think that scientists should just pull up their boot straps.

acygnus.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is beyond words. People will die.

jcreek.bsky.social•3 days ago

And it’s fascinating how teams are taking full advantage of DT’s ignorance. Or maybe using AI to ID projects to target.

“Transgender” mice and “diverse” firing in the cochlea and “insane” asylum seekers.

It must be hard because they must collaborate with other countries...each helping each other or doing separate parts to come to a goal together. Sad.

Scientists are being marginalized as they conflict with the teachings of the Bible. When do they start burning witches again?

eberlambert.bsky.social•3 days ago

Canada, EU, Australia, China … should actively start recruiting US researchers

charleyblue.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sad. I hope that American scientist can reach out to more people and talk. Share your excitement for your field of study. Get us back on track of respect for reaching a common goal of a peaceful and happy life despite our differences.

jess2004.bsky.social•3 days ago

So unfortunate. We were just starting to get good research on women…who are not small men.

mintje77y.bsky.social•3 days ago

This brain drain will be difficult to overcome

antiinsanity.bsky.social•3 days ago

I actually thing there is a golden opportunity where other countries put in the resources and step up their science game! The EU and China will hopefully lead.

Higher education will cease to exist

johanna88.bsky.social•3 days ago

The sheer stupidity is beyond comprehension

copeg.bsky.social•3 days ago

Disdain for academics - just one of the ‘14 characteristics’ playing out before our eyes. History doesn’t repeat but it sure does rhyme, with whispers of Lysenko and Mendele, crimes committed during unforgotten times
