Spoke to a friend today who is a tenured professor of neuroscience. I asked him about Trump’s anti-science campaign & his attacks on universities?
He replied, I don’t think Americans realize that even if we somehow stopped Trump now, he’s already set the USA back at least 20-30 years in scientific research. And given he still has 3 more years, we may not recover from this for half a century or more.
This Economist data is from 6 months ago. You can imagine how much worse it is now.😳
