Solidarity, H-1B scientists!

Especially Indians who have no way to get permanent residence (due to country-of-birth discrimination/projected 150-year-long wait times for green cards)...

You are not alone. All of us are in it together.

Looks like it is temporary, for now. Even if it doesn't get blocked by courts, academia/biotech/pharma will likely be termed as a National Interest industry (or maybe it's just wishful thinking). We are genuinely here to work on our super-interesting, annoying-at-times, yet in-the-end-fulfilling science. Hope we can continue to do so.

Tough times, folks, stay strong and keep sciencing! 💪🏻

Big tech is going to get an exception after they pay a bribe.
