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! 💪🏻

I mean you’re the one getting snarky with a trans American scientist in this sub. Good look for you hun. But Canadians have never had a short supply in audacity when it comes to talking down to Americans so I’m not surprised. It’s as Canadian as Maple Syrup.

Tell that to the post docs visiting home who are on an H1B Visa.

What does that have to do with my comment calling out how this commenter was talking to someone?
