Miguel Afonso CaetanoFlash news: An increasing number of intelligent and educated people don't want to live in an idiocracy... :-D"Last week, Aix Marseille University, France’s largest university, invited American scientists who believe their work is at risk of being censored by Donald Trump administration’s anti-science policies to continue their research in France. Today, the university announced that it is already seeing great interest from scientists at NASA, Yale, Stanford, and other American schools and government agencies, and that it wants to expand the program to other schools and European countries to absorb all the researchers who want to leave the United States. “We are witnessing a new brain drain,” Éric Berton, Aix Marseille University’s president, said in a press release. “We will do everything in our power to help as many scientists as possible continue their research. However, we cannot meet all demands on our own. The Ministry of Education and Research is fully supporting and assisting us in this effort, which is intended to expand at both national and European levels.”"<a href="https://www.404media.co/nasa-yale-and-stanford-scientists-consider-scientific-exile-french-university-says/?ref=daily-stories-newsletter" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.404media.co/nasa-yale-and-stanford-scientists-consider-scientific-exile-french-university-says/?ref=daily-stories-newsletter</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Idiocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Idiocracy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BrainDrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BrainDrain</a>

Stephen CollinsNothing and nobody will be saved from the dumbing down and enshittification of America under Trump. Interference in Australian academic research shows clearly that funding channels need to change, and swiftly.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/14/australian-university-sector-accuses-trump-administration-of-blatant-interference-in-research" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/mar/14/australian-university-sector-accuses-trump-administration-of-blatant-interference-in-research</a><a href="https://aus.social/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/idiocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#idiocracy</a>
