Here’s how Trump’s war on science is going. NSF funding is at the lowest level in decades. We’ll lose knowledge, generations of scientists, and US competitiveness.

Hi everyone,
As you know, there are now many initiatives being offered by other countries to support US researchers whose funding has been pulled or threatened.
Here is my attempt to gather the relevant information about all of these efforts in one place. Please share.

By my count this makes three countries—France, Australia, and Norway—all investing in programs to attract to researchers that the US doesn't want. That's brain drain y'all.

Shameful for Columbia. Who will want to go there now?
Columbia University has failed to defend academic freedom & freedom of speech & allowed a great institution to be bullied & extorted into submission by an administration hellbent on contorting higher education to their will.
The AAUP condemns this capitulation. We can & must fight back.

"What if there were a more efficient way to review a paper — without jeopardizing the quality and integrity of the process?"
THERE ISN'T.
AI-written peer reviews are totally unacceptable. If this became the norm, I'd give up on publishing in peer-reviewed journals.
