Of all the stupid things that this regime has done, this is right up near the top. Postdoctoral researchers come to the US on H-1B visas. This will further destroy the US science enterprise. Stupid stupid stupid.

🇺🇦 When the anthem mattered most, they sang it themselves.
At the Golden European Volleyball League match in Slovenia, the Ukrainian team waited—only to find their anthem wasn’t played. Instead of silence, they rose. A capella. By heart. With pride.👇

Fun linguistic fact of the day. We used to speak of 'messagers' and 'passagers' before they became 'messengers' and 'passengers', since they were borrowings from French. Speakers in the Middle Ages decided to throw in what linguists call an 'intrusive n' to make them easier to say.

National Science Foundation is being gutted today. Please support these folks and make some noise about this. 🧪
Margaret is one of several colleagues I’m losing at 1:00p today, including one of my best friends who finally got his dream job 5 months ago. Fuck all of this.
Please let the GEO/EAR community know: Program Directors and Mission Support who’ve been at NSF under two years were just terminated via Zoom. Even those of us whose offer letter stated one probationary year and whose government data states “permanent”.

Trump is a thug, a bully and a gangster. This is what statesmanship looks like: doing what's necessary to protect your country's interests, but keeping open the hand of friendship and hoping for a day when the US will return to its senses.
Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.
