I’ve been thinking the same thing, but my travel schedule is nothing compared to yours. In my case, principle might join with self-interest, since of course air travel is a massive contributor to climate change. (But, oh, the convenience!)

I’m thinking this is the eventual plan for the Kennedy Center. All that gold & marble! The performance stages could be repurposed as huge screens for endless replays of rally footage, his Fox and OAN interviews— and, of course, “The Apprentice.”

If I study anxiety via threat-biased attention, the word "biased" gets me flagged. You can't design a study of humans without using at least one of the terms on the banned list, which means that biomedical, brain, social science research is now on ice in the USA

The word "systemic" is on the banned list, so if I study systemic inflammation & health, flagged. If I study political science, flagged. If I study trauma, flagged. Keep in mind that the largest mental health provider in the country is the Veteran's Administration, but we can't study trauma now?

These keywords could show up in the text of ANY grant involving human participants. If you say you're going to study men and women, you get flagged. If you say you're going to control for socioeconomic status - totally standard practice - you get flagged. Disability? Flagged.

Please, Canada. Learn from what has now happened in— and to— my country (U.S.). You are the last bulwark of democracy on this continent.
Please.
