Scientists fear that Trump’s DEI crackdown will reshape who can participate in science for years to come, drain creativity, limit the scope of projects, and lead to worse research. “It is common sense that to have the best science, we need the broadest, most inclusive environment."

Canadians used to joke that we were a mouse beside an elephant. Then comparisons got darker - living above a meth lab. Now we understand we live next to a gangster regime. But Canadians won't bend.

A great way to avoid the drama and chaos is to put on your critical-thinking hat. Tying mine on tightly so the winds of nonsense don't blow it off. BTW, there's a book for that. @kidscanpress.bsky.social @canscaip.bsky.social @cbcqueenspark.bsky.social
