So from my uniquely weird perspective after living in the UK through Brexit, being in India during Modi's demonetization, and living in Brazil when the real tanked during the Bolsonaro administration, I can confidentally say that Americans do not and can not understand how bad this is going to be.

I was reading up on the actual Ice Age species Dire Wolf (which is very different from that scam unextincted rubbish in the news lately) and was reminded again about how fucking cool Dholes are. They are so ancient! So genetically distinct from Indian wolves! I love them en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhole

I have a computer job and lots of hobbies that use my hands (fibre crafts, baking, gardening, music, etc). I would absolutely hate doing any of those hobbies as a job! They are tedious and difficult and only fun because of the lack of any time or productivity pressure

If you think namaaz on the streets is misappropriation of public spaces, but are okay with Ganesha / Durga mandals and processions and Deepavali fireworks and Christmas and Easter midnight church services over loudspeakers, you are not civic-minded, you are just hate Muslims.

OK we all get that this is literally impossible though, right? Europe and Canada do not have the resources to absorb 75% of US scientists and btw getting jobs in these places was already competitive for the people who live there.

Trainees (especially US): What could our community be doing better for you right now? Maybe there’s an email you haven’t received? Or a meeting you wish were organized differently in the era of travel uncertainties? Answering on behalf of a friend is great. If we don’t know, we can’t help.

One thing I wish was explained to undergraduates more clearly is how letters of recommendation work and what they need to do in order to develop a stable of people who can write strong letters. Cause, like, if your first email to me - ever - is a LoR request, that's not a good sign.

A phenomenon I've experienced for years that makes me twitch a bit, is watching people (in the neighborhood, in the science community, etc) work their absolute asses off, then have people who do very little, demand that they work harder & do more, while that person sits & does nothing.
