The Trump Administration is deeming its anti-immigrant operation in North Carolina as "Operation Charlotte's Web."
Charlotte’s Web is literally a story about freedom and empathy.
They apparently never learned those lessons. And the late author’s family would like a word.

its crazy how dominant germany was in science (especially chemistry) in the 19th century, it was basically the international language for scientists, people came from all over the world to train at heidelberg etc, and then....
There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
