The recent political climate in the USA is going to affect science and research in a big way (bigly, if you prefer). In fact, Trump’s recent ban is già influenzando la vita degli scienziati che vivono e lavorano lì.
“Samira Asgari, a 30-year-old Iranian woman, was stopped in Switzerland just before boarding a flight to Boston for a post-doctoral fellowship in genomica at the Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital.”
Ero piuttosto entusiasta di unirmi a @soumya_boston‘s lab but denied boarding due to my Iranian nationality. Feeling safer?

There is a huge wave of unrest not only in America, but worldwide, in protest to Trump’s presidency and his anti-science actions in particular. We’ve all seen the Women’s March that happened on 21st Jan, with participants estimated to be close to 4.8 million worldwide.
Trump recently (two days after the Women’s March) signed an order that prevents federal money going to international groups that advice on or perform abortions. This has been much cause for alarm worldwide, as it impedisce l'accesso al trattamento dell'HIV/AIDS, procedure di aborto sicuro, nutrizione e assistenza sanitaria materna e infantile, tra gli altri.
Shortly after Trump’s inauguration, information on climate change on the White House website was removed. Trump has also repeatedly called climate change a hoax, and may now pull the US out of the Paris Agreement, a move that will lead to unrestricted carbon emissions which in turn will have a drastic effect on the planet we live in.
“An American government that ignores science to pursue ideological agendas endangers the world.”
