Been watching the election here in Vermont and relieved to see the results. Don’t know enough about the details to make any substantial comments but hopeful for future interactions between our two leaders.

With everything happening in the US right now, how safe are scientific conferences for foreign participants in the US? I think this is something we have to discuss as a scientific community. I am hesitating to register for US meetings due to the unpredictable situation. Others who feel the same?

I’m not aware of anything either but it seems like it would be a good idea, moving forward, to set up some kind of system that backs up PubMed/Medline info outside of govt. servers. Maybe someone does that already?

🚨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.
