As a fan of Star Trek & other science fiction, I don’t mind if science is fudged for dramatic effect. But when the scientific process & scientists themselves are misrepresented, inserting secrecy & efforts at social control, it contributes to distrust in science & misconceptions that can cause harm.

US immigration memo seeks to end temporary visas as easy path to green cards | What it means to Indians
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on Friday issued a new policy memo reaffirming that foreign nationals seeking adjustment of status must complete the process through consular processing outside the United States via the Department of State, in line with existing immigration laws and court rulings. Indian applicants will be forced to leave the US and apply for “adjustment of status” for a green card in India except in extraordinary circumstances. (X/@unumihaimedia) Officers have been directed to consider all relevant factors and information on a case-by-case basis when determining whether a foreigner warrants this extraordinary form of relief.
