Désormais plus d'1 million de signatures contre la #LoiDuplomb, qualifiée d'"aberration scientifique, éthique, environnementale et sanitaire".
Du jamais-vu sur le site de l'Assemblée, et peut-être l'organisation - avant tout symbolique - d'un débat à la rentrée.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Colleagues are cancelling their US work trips. I worry that international colleagues in the US are at risk if they collaborate with us on certain topics.
I've written a new post about the increasing danger of being a foreign scientist in the US.
