Climate science, space physics, planetary sciences, astronomy all heavily impacted. MRNA research, cut. There are so many cuts it's hard to keep track of. So no it's not just whatever things you think are "woke". And, this is done not to save money but as a deliberate anti science agenda.


Just, Devil's Advocate..

but what if they think Climate science, space physics, planetary sciences, astronomy..MRNA research are "Woke"?

I don't agree with them, but I do know that "Woke" means a lot of things to these people.

You are arguing with a strawman of your own making.


I stated I have no sympathy for researchers from institutions that actively pushed antisemitism. I was told that this means I am anti-woke and anti-science. Ok


You invented the whole antisemitism angle. Why are you accusing these researchers?


friend I did not invent the antisemitism angle. Ivy league schools have been rife with antisemitic behavior aided and abetted by the faculty. If you missed this news the last couple of years then I suggest you take a look. Jewish students have been assaulted, spit on, prevented from going to class etc. all while the admin of these schools looked on in admiration or actively participated.

These scientists didn't flee their schools while this was going on but as soon as an Admin comes into power that doesn't coddle them, they have to flee America due to "anti-science" and "anti-woke" rhetoric.

So I have no sympathy for researchers or scientists that are able to somehow gleefully endure being part of a school that supports the beating of students but somehow can't be part of a nation that suddenly wont tolerate it.


They are leaving because they can't get money to run their labs, pay grad students and researchers, or their spacecraft won't ever fly, and so on. Not because they don't get to be antisemitic. How is this not clear to you?


It is really hard to assume good faith with the way that poster is arguing.


Some people are just very single issue oriented, or have their heads jammed so far up in a hole. Kind of the same thing really.


Yes all the scientists do this, which is why they were all defunded /s
