🚨NEW: A French scientist had his laptop searched at the US border & was sent back to Europe after private messages were found criticising Trump.

He was accused of messages which “can be described as terrorism”.

This is what a slide into FASCISM looks like.

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world.

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research
Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

Nobody cares, but the best news of the year is that I'm going to see the Horrors in Madrid (last time was in 2009 in San Diego at the Casbah). Science is nice but music is gold. I should thank this band in all my publications. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7WA...

I am afraid I won't be patient either with suggestions that comparisons to Nazi Germany are hyperbolic. People are having grants terminated and being expelled from programs. History is being rewritten. Papers and websites are being censored. As far as this goes, it's the same tactic.

Un article intéressant sur le désengagement de l'Etat dans l'académie et ces conséquences dramatiques (Soixante des 75 établissements universitaires ont adopté un budget en déficit fin 2024, contre 23 en 2023 et 15 en 2022) www.nouvelobs.com/idees/202502...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
