It’s like he set fire to the great library of Alexandria. Let’s hope the scholarly research/knowledge survives this admin somehow. 🍀

And all of this done by unelected DOGE bros with no accountability, no votes, no debate, no justification, and no understanding of the costs and benefits.

No, however, there may be a surge in other countries wise enough to capitalise on the flight of expertise from the diminished state of USA science.
If that doesn’t happen (it will), then the worst times are upon us (they aren’t).

We will find out when scientific and technological progress comes to a stop. Many scientists, including Nobel laureates like Einstein, Fermi and Bohr left Germany (or were forced out) in 1933. The attack on education and scientific independence will trigger a similar exodus.

He has been the worst thing for science and the future of public health. #trumpDeathCamps will be our demise in our own homes, streets, schools, and sadly, hospitals.
