Had a training on supervising PhD students. Most important thing I learned: some supervisors should be kept away from students. Very far.
Will they change? Not likely.

A Trump policy strategist said:
“Funds taken away from one university could eventually make their way to other schools whose behavior and ideology the White House approved of”.
This article is an incredibly accurate summary of what Trump is doing to US science, and utterly infuriating.

In its 250 years history, the United States has been at war for 230 years. No wonder we can’t afford universal healthcare.
P.S. China hasn’t been in a declared war since it became a communist country in 1949.

COLLEGE STUDENTS — most people who drop out do not leave because of grades. They leave because a car repair or a rent increase hit at the wrong time. There is a whole category of money for exactly that, and almost nobody applies. #edusky #academicsky
