Emmanuel Macron Pres. of France: “Nobody could imagine... that one of the great democracies of the world would eliminate research programs on the pretext that the word ‘diversity’ appeared in its program... It was unthinkable...
I wonder if third and fourth generation immigrants living outside of the USA will say "Oh I'm an USAsian Australian!" or "I'm an American German!" and come back to some random bar in the middle of Ohio and claim that their great-great-grandmother was from "this town!" and see if they can get a drink for free.
"The European Union & France on Monday announced half a billion euros worth of incentives to lure scientists to the continent, seeking to profit from U.S. President Donald Trump's federal funding cuts and clashes with top US universities."

@kjhealy BTW, the #EuropeanUnion prepares a welcoming program (including funding) for US scientists and students. Some universities already practise it, e.g. in France.
The USA will have a #braindrain ... so their president will feel better.

Earlier this week, #NSF leadership also introduced a new policy directing staff members to screen #grant proposals for “topics or activities that may not be in alignment with agency priorities”. Proposals judged not “in alignment” must be returned to the applicants by NSF employees. The policy has not been made public but was described in documents seen by Nature.
The policy prevents the #NSF, one of the world’s biggest supporters of basic #research, from awarding new research #grants & from supplying allotted funds for existing grants, such as those that receive yearly increments of money. The email does not provide a reason for the freeze & says that it will last “until further notice”.
Exclusive: #NSF stops awarding new #grants & #funding existing ones
US #science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with ‘agency priorities’ [whatever those are now]
Staff members at the US National Science Foundation (NSF) were told on 30 April to “stop awarding all funding actions until further notice,” acc/to an email seen by Nature.

He is such an idiot, but I am so glad this decision has been made and am much relieved for the students/graduates. Somebody told him what "brain drain" is, I guess. #KrasnovTheKrazy #BrainDrain

Here's a great piece including some good charts on the US' brain drain and exodus of scientists among other health-related careers to mostly Canada and Europe.
Rolling Stone has been doing some great reporting. Here on scientists and brain drain from the U.S. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/scientists-fleeing-america-trump-cuts-funding-jobs-1235324006/

Exclusive: a Nature analysis signals the beginnings of a #US #science #BrainDrain. A trawl of job views and application data suggests #jobseekers are looking abroad as the #Trump administration’s cuts to science take hold.

#Canada is also looking for doctors and nurses. A #BrainDrain to the states is now being inverted.
The #Trump admin is also attempting to #deport some foreign protesters & has revoked hundreds of #visas across the country.
The Trump admin has frozen or canceled some #funding for #universities like #Columbia, #Princeton, #Brown, University of #Pennsylvania, #Cornell & #Northwestern as well.
French university gets 298 applications for 20 spots aimed at US scientists
Sarah Kennedy-O’Reilly, a #Harvard spox, said the #university was aware of the letter, which she said “follows on the heels of our statement that Harvard will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. We continue to stand by that statement.”
The sweeping request from Noem comes as hundreds of #international #students across the US have had their #visas revoked in recent weeks, causing alarm on campuses & a string of federal lawsuits seeking to overturn the decisions. In other cases, ofcls from #ICE have arrested students for protesting
against Israel on #college campuses.
