This will pretty much end international students pursuing doctorates. A shocking decision and one which will do irreparable damage to the United States in the long term. www.highereddive.com/news/trump-a...

Trump administration caps student visa stays at 4 years under final rule
Critics have castigated the measure, arguing it ignores average degree completion times and creates unnecessary burdens for international students.

Trump administration limits student visas to four years, changing longstanding policy - The Boston Globe
The new rule, which also restricts the international students’ ability to transfer schools or change majors without approval in their first year, will go into effect in mid-September.

So no publication fees, no conferences, no international collab, and we can terminate or reject your grant anytime for any reason. This might have some impact on how science works, folks. And maybe just maybe not a positive one.

"The plan is to kill off publicly funded academic science in this country." Correct. And that means killing off the whole US science and innovation industry. Because it's all built on a foundation of basic research—which. can. only. be. funded. by. public. dollars.

The Trump administration may be going after the Southern Poverty Law Center now, but make no mistake, this attack affects everyone. The point of prosecuting SPLC or others that make the president angry is to send a message: Fall in line or pay the price.

Trump Administration Indictment of Southern Poverty Law Center Puts Democracy at Risk
Targeting Southern Poverty Law Center, a major racial justice group, is Trump’s latest effort to punish groups for their views.

There is no reason for the U.S. to fall behind in its investment in science and technology and in training a science-savvy citizenry. It's a choice being made that will have consequences. theconversation.com/china-surpas...

China surpasses US in research spending – the consequences extend far beyond scientific ranking and clout
Scientific innovation has been driving US economic growth for decades. Losing that edge means losing access to the technologies and brainpower that come with it.

🚨 Congress held NIH and NSF budgets roughly flat. Scientists celebrated. Here is what actually happened. NIH awarded 4,641 fewer grants in FY2025 than the 4-year avg. New awards dropped 14%. Over $1.3B never reached investigators. NSF awards fell 22%. The money was there.

📉 FY2026 is worse. NIH has made 10,195 awards so far. NSF has made 613. Six hundred thirteen. Congress appropriated the money. The agencies are not spending it. Grant freezes. NOFO collapse. Staff RIFs. Review cancellations. You can win the budget fight and still lose the funding war.

Way too many people genuinely think people are doing things to upset them in particular, like they’re the target of this random person’s life, and their behavior was meant to upset them specifically, which informs their reactions to be oh so upset at someone clearly experiencing a crisis.
