#BrainDrain

#Trump's admin says billions of dollars in cuts are needed to curb the federal deficit & bring the US debt under control.

His cutbacks on #research come amid a broader clash that has seen Trump criticize #universities as *discriminatory* for their #diversity policies & denounce what he sees as a failure by some institutions to protect Jewish students from #antisemitism.

Author and activist Don Winslow rightly says that “Donald Trump should have been taken out of the White House in handcuffs before the sunset on January Sixth. And if he had been—if people had done the jobs they were supposed to have done, we wouldn’t be where we are now.” #The11thHour #vote #November5 #Mastodon #BlackMastodon #politics

I have just skimmed the book 'Gathering Moss' by #RobinWallKimmerer (searched something for my moss podcast episode) and am amazed at how much you can take away from moss evolution for today's political situation. Evolution speaks much for diverse, resisting, and adaptive communities.

"#Washington’s top #education leader says he won’t sign the U.S. Department of Education’s recent letter ordering K-12 #schools to certify they’re in compliance with federal civil rights laws and are halting any “illegal” #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion programs.

The letter, sent to school leaders across the nation late last week, threatens to withhold federal funding from schools for “any violation” of civil rights law — including #DEI programs that “advantage one race over another.” It also requires schools to sign the certification and return it to the department within 10 days."

(the third one not so much anymore, but it is the sequel to the second one).

Therein I find #education‍al value to bring #neurodiversity #awareness to groups wanting #diversity-#inclusion but are not aware of neurodiversity: Where there can be diversity too, and how can it look for example.

Trauma GeekDiscovering a Trauma-Informed Positive Autistic Identity — Trauma GeekAutism is a hereditary neurological identity or neurotype. The autistic neurological identity is unique in three particular ways. First, autistic people have neuronal hyper-sensitivity* throughout their entire body-mind. Second, autistic people use an attention filtering style called monotropism. Fi

I wonder what Dr. Lakshmi Chilukuri, professor of molecular biology, provost of 6th College at #UCSD, and mother of Usha Vance thinks of the #fascism. Have any students in her lab lost their visas? Has her research been affected by the #NIH cuts?
