thanks to @solalpirelli.bsky.social for this nice piece on pseudoscience published by IEEE - and the need for the publisher to step up to the plate and start retracting this garbage if they want to retain any credibility. deevybee.blogspot.com/2025/02/ieee...

I used to half-jokingly say I didn't want to do research in the US due to the risk of the GOP being elected and deciding to deport your colleagues or students. I didn't realize "just stop paying everyone" was a possibility.

Nothing to see here. Just Elon Musk FRS retweeting an incendiary statement about @royalsociety.org's Foreign Member Anthony Fauci at the point when Trump removed Fauci's protection. Need for preemptive pardon amplified when Musk previously tweeted "prosecute Fauci".
