I’m delighted to share that I’ve been awarded a one-year scholarship at the @balsillieschool.bsky.social under the Technology and Governance Initiative! The project works with academics, industry & government to find alternatives to US products, services and tech between Canada, Europe & East Asia.

I have co-authors who are cancelling planned trips. We are already viewed as a police state and this is doing incredible and long-lasting damage to scholarly work (and the International standing of the nation these folks claim to care about)
I absolutely know of cases where non-US scholars no longer want to travel to the US, and US green card holders don't want to risk leaving the country. There is a real sense of fear.

Would not be surprised if other US.-based financial services for Europeans follow suit, if the trend grows.

Just give it time.
I can see the slogans.
"Sovereignty does not preclude partnership.”
“Europe has understood how much they need us.”)
