“There is an immeasurable level of anxiety.”

For many scientists from the U.S., moving abroad has become a lifeline: a way to pursue world-class research without fighting against the funding cuts and disruptive policies currently stifling American science.

Scientists from across the @maxplanckgesellschaft, including Josipa Zupanic & Vidur Mithal from #MPIM, came together in #Berlin last week to look beyond their research and dive into #SciencePolicy. They explored how science & decision-making interact at national & international levels. The workshop showed how many institutions & processes support the scientific system & how important it is for researchers to engage with them—especially when #FreedomOfScience is under threat.

Academics anywhere may even consider the below sequence if effective:
1. decide to work less with israel or the United States
2. make a joint statement
3. inform the institutions
