A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Canada needs to get on this as well. Let’s make America have a real national emergency with no intellect left.
I mean, they’ve already wiped out any intelligence in the White House itself. Let’s remove the real intelligence and get them out of the U.S.
Fuck Trumps Fascist America.
For guidance see movie Idiocracy..
Unfortunately, Canada barely pays its own scientists. Science here is not a priority and it sucks
those lucky to get a professorship a uNi already done that, but faculty positions are quite competitive, as they are very small pool in general. even my non-prestigious state school, the positions to be bio-professor or adjunt is extremely fierce(like 10years ago). its because the tenures arnt leaving til they croak, also the Uni being stingy in not hiring them. alot of phd thinks faculty is thier career. does canada have industry for researchers, bio, engineering.
It would be great to grant people with educated backgrounds into Canada. That’s immigration I can get behind.
Want to become the modern nazi party ... then suffer from brain drain exactly like the old one did.
I’m something of a scientist myself…
For 500 million I'll be whatever it takes. Almost. I can't, in good conscience, be a unicorn.
If you can’t grow your own horn, store bought will do just fine.
I've got 1 horn ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
For me? Thanks!
dont even need 500mil, trump's anti-science , anti-intellectuals gop is enough to scare them to other western countries. coupled by the fact its hard enough getting jobs with said phd.
Today is my last day here. Another country decided they liked me enough to sponsor me.
Hey, shhhh. Don't turn your nose up at relocation assistance.
European researchers: Am I a joke to you?
As someone thinking of doing a PhD, I want those dirty foreigners and their ivy league diplomas out! They are stealing my jobs!
Honestly this whole thing is disgusting to me in a way. As if current European researchers couldn't do just as good as the US if given the same levels of funding. This is almost certainly a case of "let's flood the job market and lower how much we have to pay researchers"
people moved to US, to get a better income. now even that is threatened, so they probably will take a pay cut in the EU just to be safe from the GOP.
Jokes aside, I think it is more that they want to attract the really good people. There already is a complete power imbalance in many science fields, and in applied fields, they will still have to compete with industry jobs.
yea, i think its too heavily geared towards scientists only, and not the technicians, bs holders, MS holders who are doing the majority of the lab work anyways. I dont know if thats what you meant.
but its like that in the states, also i believe its very gatekept because they dont want to hire to many people in research areas otherwise scientist might lowers thier already stingy income. so if you look at job listing you can see that they purposely add many skills or years to discourage people from applying, of course they are also ignoring applications too.
certain parts of health maybe slightly better, like nursing, CLS(although its pretty competitive to even get into the grad program). cant say the same for MED schools though.
its pretty hard to get a job, even if nobody is stealing jobs in stem. Its the employers that are doing that, trying to hire as little as possible.
I paid my own way.
Anything to get away from the rampaging, methed-up rednecks destroying everything in their wake.
Can we pretend computer science is a real science?
i heard just as many complaints from CS posts on different forums as bio stem people having difficulties in finding jobs.
Doesn't help that modern-day CS curricula don't really teach you how to develop. They churn out developers who know what a red-black tree is, but not how to set up a .gitignore.
no experience outside of the courses, that make sense much like biotech. my bro had tget certification and get skills outside any schooling. except labs you cant really do that unless your a student for research, and if there is space in a limited lab setting.
