@arthurgessler Too bad Aotearoa's anti-evidence far-right govt has the same policy settings, because I'd love to see more scientists settle and work here.
@phil_stevens we also have very little funding. Some of the higher power labs in the US probably have the same level of funding as my whole department.
@sciolato It's been a systematic and deliberate series of policy decisions by neoliberals because the free market does this so much better. Haven't you seen all the excellent pure research coming out of the private sector recently?
@arthurgessler Well Christians, congratulations. This is your big chance to completely fuck yourselves and your progeny for the future. This has got to be the most epic self-own since just before WW2....
@arthurgessler they might as well leave their job before trump ends up firing them and defunding them and ending their department like how he ended (or wants to end) the department of education and how RFK Junior ended (or wants to end) the CDC. sorry, I’m not quite sure if they ended those already or not cuz I took a bit of a break from politics recently.
