In my Saturday Hot Type column for Byline Supplement, I document the European and Canadian universities offering a safe harbor for US academics and scientists, echoing a dark past
One week from today I'll be heading to San Jose for a major synthetic biology conference. I'm to be on a panel on how arts & culture influence the direction of science and technology, and I had already planned to discuss the dismantling of the scientific infrastructure in the USA and the ongoing brain drain from, instead of to, the US. I will be sure to cite this 'Sane Asylum' essay when I do. I also plan to talk about Silicon Valley TESCREAL-bros, another subject you've written about.
Here's a link to an essay about how I'm preparing for that conference. I would love to hear from you if you can find the time to read it — if not the whole thing, then maybe the précis? I hope it's not rude to include it here, but if it is, please delete this comment.
Excellent essay, as usual. Thank you.
