Summary
France’s Aix Marseille University is launching a €15 million “safe place for science” program to support U.S. researchers who fear censorship under Trump’s administration.
The initiative, covering climate, health, and social sciences, will fund 15 researchers over three years. Trump’s government has frozen grants and purged climate-related research, leading to fears of widespread funding cuts.
Aix Marseille previously aided scientists from conflict zones. While some see this as an academic lifeline, others view it as France capitalizing on a U.S. brain drain under anti-science policies.

Drain our brains. Europe, Canada, Mexico, Oceania: have at it, make this world safer for us all. I bet Cuba could get some of our medical researchers, too. Cripple the Trump regime.
USAID is now Aid for the US.
Europe, Australia need a new operation paperclip to save scientists from Nazi USA.

I don’t necessarily see how these are opposing viewpoints. Both are certainly true
Let’s traumatize our academic institutions and research industry
-a country famous for innovation and technology making a decision they surely will not regret.
The kleptocratic oligarchs really won’t regret it, and they don’t give a fuck what the rest of us think.
We need to make them regret it.
