*DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE US!*
“‘I learned with concern that a French researcher,’ on a mission for the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), ‘who was going to a conference near Houston was banned from entering American territory before being expelled,’ said the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse (AFP). ‘This measure was allegedly taken by the American authorities because this researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friendly relationships in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy,’ he added.”

Acc/to another informed source of #AFP, "hate & conspiracy messages" were blamed on the French researcher by #US authorities. An #FBI investigation into him was announced, for which "the charges have been abandoned," continues this source.
…This incident comes as… #Trump has increased his shocking announcements targeting the #scientific community (brutal #BudgetCuts, #censorship of certain subjects in subsidized research...).

🚨 ESO analysis confirms that the INNA industrial megaproject would have a devastating and irreversible impact on the facilities at Paranal Observatory in #Chile.
➡️ Light #pollution would increase by at least 35% above ESO's Very Large Telescope, by a minimum of 5% above ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope and by at least 55% above the south site of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
➡️ Air turbulence would also increase, degrading seeing conditions by up to 40%
➡️ Vibrations from the project could seriously impair the functioning of the ELT and the VLT Interferometer, which are both extremely sensitive to micro-seismic noise.
➡️ Dust during construction is also problematic as it settles on the telescope mirrors and obstructs their view.

New ESO analysis confirms severe damage from industrial complex planned near Paranal
An in-depth technical analysis by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) has evaluated the impact of the INNA megaproject on the facilities at the Paranal Observatory, Chile — and the results are alarming.www.eso.org
The lasers our Very Large Telescope (VLT) pierce the Milky Way… but what is that vertical glow just below? 🤔
That’s the zodiacal light: caused by dust grains in the Solar System, it's so faint that it’s only visible in the darkest skies, such as those of Chile’s Atacama Desert.
And the pristine night sky 🌌 in this region has always been intertwined with the culture and traditions of its indigenous people, discover how: eso.org/public/images/potw2511…

I definitely won't be travelling to the US any time soon, *especially* for science events. It's too easy to end up causing misunderstandings at the border (Are you there to work? Does the agent think you may want to stay?), and the agents have apparently been instructed to be even more suspicious and "crack down" on cases at will. #science #academicChatter #scienceAtRisk #usTravel
