Even if it all stopped tomorrow, I don't think the damage that's been done can be repaired in my lifetime. But at least we could start. Instead, tomorrow will be worse.
A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." (This PBS story on the scientific brain drain is heartbreaking & ominous for medicine, imo.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO...

Mainstream news gives wall-to-wall coverage to politics, halftime shows & social-media drama, but relegates mass species loss, poisoned water & collapsing ecosystems to an occasional CO₂-emissions story. That’s what passes for “environmental” reporting.
