🪓 The US #government is #killing #science. Staff at the US National Science Foundation were told on 30 April to stop awarding all funding. In 2 weeks, #NSF has #terminated ~1,040 #grants that would have awarded US$739 million to #researchers & their institutions. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01396-2

Fantasy Becomes Reality as Trump Takes Revenge on #Disinformation #Researchers
“ @claesdevreese, Professor of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam, argues that ties with US peers and the careers of young scholars have been jeopardized by cuts to US research.”
I have a simple message for all #academics. If you are worried about students and your own career (because the education sector is not what it should be due to govt policies) then Join Your UNION and make it right.
Simple, tried and tested method to make your life and its outcomes that much better. Guaranteed. The more union members the better off the whole of society. Proven time and time again. Look it up!

![Text Shot: Kai Chen, a Canadian AI researcher working at OpenAI who’s lived in the U.S. for 12 years, was denied a green card, according to Noam Brown, a leading research scientist at the company. In a post on X, Brown said that Chen learned of the decision Friday and must soon leave the country.
“It’s deeply concerning that one of the best AI researchers I’ve worked with […] was denied a U.S. green card,” wrote Brown. “A Canadian who’s lived and contributed here for 12 years now has to leave. We’re risking America’s AI leadership when we turn away talent like this.”
Another OpenAI employee, Dylan Hunn, said in a post that Chen was “crucial” for GPT-4.5, one of OpenAI’s flagship AI models.
Green cards can be denied for all sorts of reasons, and the decision won’t cost Chen her job. In a follow-up post, Brown said that Chen plans to work remotely from an Airbnb in Vancouver “until [the] mess hopefully gets sorted out.” But it’s the latest example of foreign talent facing high barriers…](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/114/405/792/139/379/269/original/6cf0df530fc49457.png)
