I am heading home after 2 days in Washington DC

I've heard so many heart-breaking stories from my American scientist friends and colleagues...

Their pain, distress and anxiety cannot be put in words

They truly deserve better

Tough to say, but all USians did this: they voted for him, voted third party, didn’t vote, or were too weak to beat him.

Apparently Americans aren't the only ones who have difficulty with critical thought,
75 million people voted for Harris. Trump won with <50% of the popular vote. But, sure, "all USians did this".

Let them know the land of the Free are welcoming scientists.

They will not get "better" from this administration. You may have to take the harder path of actually changing who's in charge.

A hard job, replacing the anti-science White House residents

But

The most satisfying results come from hard work

We all deserve better

We will all lose so much! I can't imagine what they must be going through right now.

Some are trying to rework their climate & health grants and not mention the word 'climate change' in their proposals

Some are wondering if they should stay in academia

Some asked about jobs in Canada

And young people I met are wondering if there is any point in pursuing global or public health...

Heartbreaking...infuriating...devastating... the English language doesn't meet this moment. (Maybe French?) So sorry for what Orange Julius Caesar is inflicting on your wonderful and beautiful country. 😢

💔 The immense loss of scientific research, data and current and future scientists will haunt us for generations. It's like the beginnings of a new Dark Age.

With thousands of people laid off in the DC area, everyone is shell shocked

Despite the chaos, they plan to stay the course and keep working on their passion

I wish them the very best and they should all count on our support and solidarity

This is soul crushing.

I already have a masters in it and I’m wondering if I should go broke getting another masters in Sweden just to get a damn chance

It seems the government wants to remove knowledge, intelligence, and learning from the country.

This is an outside observation as i do not live in the States.

Yes. It’s a brain drain.

Anyone in the scientific community I should be following for health info. I have a 5 & 3 year old and can't trust USA sites anymore.

Tell the world, please.

Corruption Creep in every industry & sector allowed this perfect storm.

We have need of serious self reflection too

oracy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Many thanks for your efforts. American medical and scientific communities deserve our support and respect

A disbelief in science serves no one.

How can anyone politicize finding a cure for cancer, or saving lives from diseases?

Yet, they do.

We deserve better as a nation. We are now moving to the back on being the leader in science and technology. We are moving to being a third world country.
