I’m having similar conversations and sharing international opportunities a lot. I’m sure for a lot of US based trainees that feels overwhelming. I moved to Europe for my postdoc.Happy to chat with any trainees about my experience if it would be helpful.

Great idea! @maxplanck.de is in the process of creating a program for US researchers, should open soon.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Make the government make you take down articles @asm.org Don’t do it in advance as a precaution because of loss if funding or whatever. Hell, I would’ve paid way higher membership dues if I knew it would help you take a stand and if you gave us that choice vs whatever this is. Now, not so much

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

This is not just a "pause." It is an unlawful destruction now. Foreign aid is a cornerstone of national security with diplomacy and defense. USAID's work reaches 100s of millions worldwide and America will be harmed. Here are some of the lives at stake.

Count the Career Development Grant for Postdoctoral Women among the casualties of ASM’s recent self-censorship. Disappointing. I’m a past recipient. The impact of this small grant on my career was huge. Plus, I believe it’s a donor-funded program (not fed funds).

As a longtime @asm.org dues-paying member & American Academy of Microbiology fellow… WTF? Do not undo years of society efforts to improve inclusivity and properly highlight the contributions of diverse microbiologists on an EO whim. Do not contribute to the erasure of scientists and individuals!

It would be great if we got a statement from ASM. very quickly. In the meantime, perhaps something we could all do is temporarily refuse to review articles that come across our desk until then? Not an attack on the wonderful editors, but a necessary step perhaps?

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

As a non-US member of @asm.org I would like to see this clarified and turned around (this concerns the removal of highlights of scientific contributions by minorities) as soon as possible. If not you may hope to keep your federal money but you will lose mine (I know, peanuts etc).

Wait. @asm.org last I checked, you are not a government agency, so why should this Executive Order apply to a non-governmental professional/scientific society? Why are you obeying an unjust order in advance when doing so clearly hurts the interests of microbiologists you claim to represent?

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

No. The “CIA” doesn’t favor it, Trump appointee John Ratcliffe does. And, buried 14 paragraphs in: “The agency made its new assessment with “low confidence,” which means the intelligence behind it is fragmentary and incomplete.”
