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.
Continued thread
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.

#Braindrain, das im Deutschen in verschiedenen Schreibungen begegnet, wird in den 1960er Jahren aus dem Englischen entlehnt. Lesen Sie in unserer #Wortgeschichte, wann es auf welche Länder bezogen wird: https://www.zdl.org/wb/wortgeschichten/Braindrain

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
