To recap, Trump signed a proclamation saying that after midnight tonight, no one with an H-1B visa may enter the US unless they have paid $100,000. However, anonymous White House officials are saying it doesn't apply to people with current H-1B visas — yet there is NO official guidance! None!
An absolute clown show.
Avoiding chaos like this is one of the many reasons a for *not* having EOs be the normal method of legislating or regulating. You really want more careful review than “Steve Miller doodled it on a napkin and Trump signed it with a sharpie.”

Trump administration tries to tamp down panic for high-skill visa holders after last-minute overhaul
The president announced Friday that H-1B visas will now come with a $100,000 annual fee, but a U.S. official said it will only apply to new visa applicants.

Please! Think twice before publishing papers in pay for play journals (Frontiers, MDPI, Sage etc). The data is immediately suspect - why did the authors buy themselves a paper without rigorous review?
I'm delighted to share our opinion on #papermills published in Nature. Science is flooded with papers from paper mills.Certain steps can be taken, but this is a challenge that neither universities nor journals are ready to face.Some use paper mills to their advantage.

Top 10 ways American Science can survive the 15% indirect cap:
1. Breed special transgenic mice that can run for days in tiny hamster wheel turbines to keep lights on.
2. Get athletic program staff to donate 1% of their salaries to the research thus raising 100 billion dollars a year.
