The brain drain has already begun in the US, and it’ll be irreversible. 75% of US scientists polled are looking to leave for better research opportunities.

Remember always: it was republicans who betrayed our country. They are the ones who caused all this devastation. Treat them accordingly.

The problem with admonishments from groups like this is that they've so covered themselves with shit trying to maximize profits their words don't mean much when they actually have something meaningful to say.

Mitochondria is the first immigrant, the new US science directive should be to address and kick out the illegally hopping prokaryotic looking mitochondria.

The problem with being a "scientist" is that you spend your entire life quietly serving capitalism for personal gain. Then, when your privilege is ultimately threatened, you're only capable of meekly complaining about "eroding scientific standards". Any complaints about fascism, etc. are far outside the habitus.

You must not know many people who work in the sciences. They are researchers, teachers, material engineers, safety administrators, doctors, automotive engineers...etc. Very few work in bio or pharma with the goal of just making money. Most of those people who ever make lots of money from science squat on patents from federally funded university programs, which should be illegal.

I've seen more scientists, phd students, post grads, and STEM college students at protests than at any other time in my 30 years of protest. I've been involved in organizing countless protests online and now spend hours every week cultivating or building networks for dissidents and community organizers.

I don't know which scientists you're talking to in the meatspace, but you might want to find different ones. Before they're all in the EU or Canada.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
