It is evident to me that the goal of these recent changes is to wage a more focused campaign against China. If the major players on earth (China, EU, Canada etc) are all tariffing you, your leverage reduces significantly…

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.

How long till they come for you or me? Any of my international colleagues? They first come for the ones who they know the public will not support, like Muslims or people supporting Palestinians openly. Then what? Any person against Trump? This how it starts. No due process or fair trial = fascism.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped β€” Guardian US I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Make no mistake. A society run by greed is inherently primed for human cruelty.

NSERC - Latest News - Launch of the new Harmonized Tri-agency Scholarship and Fellowship programs As announced in Budget 2024, the scholarship and fellowship programs administered by the three federal research funding agencies – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) – have been streamlined into a new harmonized talent program called the Canada Research Training Awards Suite (CRTAS) that will open for applications in summer 2025.

🚨 HUGE news from Canada's tricouncils who are harmonizing their scholarship & fellowship programs, upping the total number (huzzah!), and critically, allowing foreigners to apply for doctoral and postdoc fellowships. Want to work with me? Get in touch! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ§ͺβš’οΈ

I think we should be cautious about embracing the "NIH needs reform" nonsense. The sort of reform you are all thinking about bears little resemblance to what the right wingers have in mind. Don't be naive.

Bluesky’s science takeover: 70% of Nature poll respondents use platform Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X.

Proud of my part in helping this happen as a Bluesky Elder.
