OPT provides short-term work visas for recent international graduate students in the US, allowing them to work after their student visa expires. It's a pipeline for jobs in medicine, biomedical research, education, technology, engineering, and other highly skilled work.
This is very, very, bad.

The foundations of Americaβs prosperity are being dismantled
Federal scientists warn that Americans could feel the effects of the new administration's devastating cuts for decades to come.
"The US took nearly a century to craft its rich scientific ecosystem; if the unraveling that has taken place over the past month continues, Americans will feel the effects for decades to come."

We should all be mad but for some additional context on where to direct the anger Universities and schools received this letter- basically they risk losing all federal funding if they donβt comply with the DEI orders: www.ed.gov/media/docume...

What kind of research do they consider "wasteful DEI"? Reading through the project descriptions (column N) and it's project grants studying:
-fentanyl overdose prevention
-earthquake disaster preparedness
-renewable energy
-kidney disease (and other healthcare topics)
-disability aid product design

A seal snoozing in the sunshine on some ice.
Antarctica Day is on Dec 1st each year. It marks the signing of the Antarctic Treaty, which sets aside Antarctica as a continent for peace and science.
To help celebrate, hereβs a photo I took a couple of years ago, of a seal which had clearly got the message about peace.
Happy #AntarcticaDay!!
