According to a new AIP report, last year physics PhD graduates left the US at the highest rate in 30 years.

Physics PhDs Are Leaving the US at a Record-high Rate
The exodus of non-US citizens has “certainly” been influenced by science funding and visa policy changes under Trump, a new AIP report says.

of course he wasn't 'more qualified than every other candidate' because *it's very rare that that kind of clear distinction actually exists in hiring, especially in oversubscribed and underresourced jobs like academia.*. It always becomes somewhat arbitrary at the end.

Both “mayday“ and “pan pan” go out on the same channel, VHF channel 16, which all vessels are required to monitor. In both cases, the nearest vessel has an obligation to respond. You can’t ignore a pan pan because you don’t feel like rendering assistance.

A few people in the comments are confused about “a call for assistance, not a distress call.” The boat in question had lost power. This is very serious. It’s not “mayday” — immediate threat to life — but it’s definitely “pan pan” — urgent situation requiring assistance.

The obligation to rescue is the core of maritime law. It extends to all vessels regardless of nationality or jurisdiction. When a distress call comes in and you’re the nearest vessel and you can do so safely, you must render aid, period.

There's a rock path on the left and a veggie and fruit garden behind.Huge towering sunflowers dwarf the rest of a flower garden, with some porch chairs and swings visible and trees beyond.A more unkempt native plant section, plus some big fluffy white and pink flowers, with weeping willows behind.

It’s lupin season here in Nova Scotia. The sight (and smell) of these wildflowers always transports me back to my childhood.
A field of vibrant purple and pink lupin wildflowers carpet the landscape in front of a rust coloured iron bridge surrounded by trees. The sky overhead is shades of dark grey and deep blue.

Black text on white page that reads: 

Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust. 

We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else. 

No company — no matter how large or powerful — is above the law.
