Flash news: An increasing number of intelligent and educated people don't want to live in an idiocracy... 
"Last week, Aix Marseille University, France’s largest university, invited American scientists who believe their work is at risk of being censored by Donald Trump administration’s anti-science policies to continue their research in France. Today, the university announced that it is already seeing great interest from scientists at NASA, Yale, Stanford, and other American schools and government agencies, and that it wants to expand the program to other schools and European countries to absorb all the researchers who want to leave the United States.
“We are witnessing a new brain drain,” Éric Berton, Aix Marseille University’s president, said in a press release. “We will do everything in our power to help as many scientists as possible continue their research. However, we cannot meet all demands on our own. The Ministry of Education and Research is fully supporting and assisting us in this effort, which is intended to expand at both national and European levels.”"

in reply to Miguel Afonso Caetano • • •But I really rush to emphasize, the Biden administration put up a ton of practical speed bumps that shut down a lot of hard science research in the US. It didn't get nearly enough coverage, but it really frustrated a whole lot of US scientists.
And now a lot of that research is being unleashed. A lot of the roadblocks have been taken down in the last couple of months much to the celebration of many researchers, and a lot of researches now starting to get back on track.
I understand why some academics are feeling like they want to leave, but in practical terms, on the ground, regardless of the attitude of the president, a lot of research is finally being allowed to proceed when it was being bungled before.
I really wish this was getting more reporting.
