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.
We should blame both halfs of the Duopoly that only exists to send us down this path
No shit, fuckers.
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.
