Late Wednesday night, an email went out to members of the AFGE Local 3403 union representing employees at NSF collecting signatures for the so-called Alexandria Declaration, highlighting ācatastrophic changesā to the agency āand the scientific enterprise of the United States over the last 6 months.ā
āAt this critical moment in our shared history, we hope to catalyze a level of public awareness and subsequent action that will preserve NSF and the values it upholds,ā the email reads, noting that the effort was inspired by the Bethesda Declaration.
I want Bethesda to make a declaration that theyāll hire 100 new people to work on fallout 5.
Beyond that joke, I donāt really have a lot of hope for science in Americaās future.
Or⦠americas future. Anyone who can get out will and we will just be poor and somehow paying $3000 for a studio apartment.
