The country built on brain drain, assumes it is great without the brain.
I hope the scientist find favorable places that value science.
Making everywhere else, great again.
Brain drain is a difficult downward spiral to break out of once it starts.
Critical support for Trump’s struggle against US cultural and scientific imperialism.
You jest, but even though I hate a lot about the Trump regime, I’m glad that it is eating out its own military capacity like this. It’s like when you’re incredibly sick in bed, and then it gets a little better for a while.
Whoops, I dropped these links here. Oh, clumsy days. Don’t mind me…
Not to kill the joke, but I was given these by a close friend who lives there now. These are all tailored to English speakers.
Welcome to Europe, researchers!
Lots of great choices and don’t worry, you can move to France without knowing French or Denmark without knowing Danish!
Denmark is home away from home. Love it there. It is my most stamped country. :)
This is a huge opportunity for countries who always played second fiddle in science and tech.
Never played a conquest game where you stop researchers from giving your empire a tech advantage over others.
Hey Europe and Canada, anyone still looking for a scientist that just wants to do lab work? I prefer chemistry, but am happy with micro too. Just let me interpret data, please. I’m stuck somewhere where titrations are the most complex process.
German universities are always hiring. Always. And in my experience they need just about everyone
If you have an Irish grandparent you can get a passport. Lots of work here and Americans are welcome.
Otherwise work visas that turn into residency aren’t difficult to come by with sponsorship and it’s not the kind of sponsorship that makes you a slave.
In my faculty, there’s often vacants for lab technicians, if you want to give it a go
How is the price of a cryptocoin even relevant to this post?
Uhh…because….pee trickle down?
It’s his bloody piss.
That’s the price of ethereum lol
urethereum
anecdotally, I know people finishing their phds that have jobs lined up elsewhere in the world because there are no federal science job openings
the brain drain is real and self-imposed
Hello. Yes, count me too. I’m American but I have been just skipping any postings around the US. I love the people and the landcape, and I miss family dearly, but I can’t do my job there, which is a shame because not many people can do what I do, especially in the US.
I mean, you’re good at it and all, but posting memes doesn’t really seem that specialized…
😉
No, no. This all is to feed my inner anthropology gremlin. I love you all, my little tardigrades in my petri dish.
Or another way to look at it- cutting nearly 75% of scientists. Can’t have climate change if there’s no one working! Watch them find some money to give to ExxonMobile to ‘study’ the impacts of fossil fuels. Wonder what that report will say! /s
No need for the /s I fully expect that is what will happen. Also a great firewall, so yanks can’t access unapproved information from over seas
If you can get out, now’s the time.
If not, now’s the time to buy guns and ammo.
And share them with your friends. Learn from Lenin, learn from the Vietnamese, learn from Alpaca farms.
Maybe also learn how to build molotov cocktails, how to grow vegetables in your apartment, and stock some durable food.
It was time for that like 25 years ago. Fuck… I just realized 9/11 was 24 years ago.
And honesty it might be time watch all these 1st world nations like they aren’t quite right.
Unironically… Where’s the best place to go if you can get out and only speak english?
As others said, you’ll get by with just speaking English - if you’re serious think of what would matter aside from language: a life in Italy will be very different than a life in German, not only the weather but also the work culture. Also think of which countries ‘match’ your education, being somewhere with loads of jobs in your expertise will make things a lot easier. I’d advise anyone able to move from US to Europe to take a leap of faith - if it doesn’t work out and the US has by then returned to normal you can just move back and if it doesn’t work out and america didn’t return to normal you’ll likely be happy at least you got out before it got real bad.
Almost anywhere in Europe is the answer. My son did his masters in Denmark and never learned Danish. He lives in Germany now and speaks fuck all German.
Once in the Netherlands, after losing my glasses I asked an optician if he could speak English and he was thoroughly insulted.
Britain and Ireland are both native English.
If you’re willing to learn at any pace, and can do at least some “skilled work” as they call it, then just about everywhere. Usually you have 5 to 10 years to learn the language if you want to stay permanently. You can get by with English in most of europe.
Usually, if there is not a lot of jobs you can do speaking English, it means that the region isn’t exactly rich and/or accommodating anyway.You’ll get by just fine everywhere on english, but it’ll be hard to integrate and make local friends without learning the language
in research? English is enough in most countries I think, I have friends here (France) who just start learning french after 10 years living here 😅 they just didn’t need it before
And still some people think it will be fine in 3.5 years.
Oh my god it’s only been half a year D:
5 months, he was inaugurated January 20th
Fuuuuck this is depressing
It absolutely won’t be.
But it might be moving in the right direction.
Regardless, will take decades/generations to fully recover from this, if ever.
we’ll just get chatgpt to invent new science for us
i’m sure the techbro right actually believes this
because otherwise how are they going to take over the MIC if the I part evaporates
what if we ask chatgpt to figure out physics for us and it gives us some absolutely fucked to death recursive nonsense but- what if- what if we like get lucky and it somehow works, the llm’s quadrillion monkeys typing somehow crack a glitch in reality
i imagine that is about as likely as it actually helping with inventing new fields of science
Indeed Artificial Intelligence (AI), including machine learning, autonomy, and related advances, ($655.23 million) investments will bring together numerous fields of scientific inquiry—including computer and information science; cognitive science and psychology; economics and game theory; education research; engineering and control theory; ethics; linguistics; mathematics; and philosophy—to advance the frontiers of trustworthy AI, including advancing perception, learning, reasoning, recommendation, and action in the context of specific fields and economic sectors. NSF investments are needed to develop new foundational AI theory and implementation techniques, as well as novel AI methods that are inspired by use cases in specific application domains and contexts.
Thank you, Grok.
