I'd like to propose a moratorium on political posts, as they are
off-topic.  I see general agreement on the unsatisfactory state of
affairs here in the US, but for now there's little anybody can do
about it.

 Unsatisfactory politics may have scientific consequences,
as seen before WWII.
It looks like the USA is getting ready to give back
some of 'Hitler's present'.
 European universities will no doubt be willing to accomodate
outstanding scientific refugies.
The fact that some of their lecturing is in English these days
will make it easier,

As you see, we are pretty messed up, but then the whole world is pretty
messed up.  There are encouraging signs here and there, so let's hope
for the best.
 

A-a-a-a-nd so much for the moratorium.

 Says you. Your good old USA, with its creationism/ID
is -the- source for mixing politics into science,

Not to mention anti-vax. Even in Louis Pasteur's country there are more anti-vaxers ynmight think.
