Do you honestly not get it, or are you just trying to push back against a message you don't like?

Estonian here, first Yank* scientist on Lemmy to come work at University of Tartu gets a beer on me. Note that when I say "come work at" I mean I live in the city, not that I work at the university too. I dropped out after a semester and a half lol

* Yank refers to the entire USA here, though younger generations don't use it much. You could be from Texas or California and still be a Yankee.

Same in Finland: a Californian or a Hawaiian is a Yankee (in Finnish: jenkki) here.

Emotional, fucking, damage.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Why would Americans feel emotional damage from this? They have freedom to be Christian, and self reliant, and proud.

Come to Australia! If you’re on the west coast of America, it’s not even that ridiculous a journey. It’s quite like America in lots of good ways, and less so in the insane, gun-toting ways. (Lots of idiot-trucks still, though 😞)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

they only want scientists(phds) in many countries outside of us(i know there are alot there are struggling after just thier initial undergrad and even thier masters)(struggling as in the job prospects for biotech is quite a bit poor for those who are not eligible for grad school, or need experience)

You guys are gutting funding, unfortunately.

Yeah brain drain isn't as cool when it happens here, is it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It is not secret that the US has attracted talented academics for many years. I am sure that these kinds of advertisements are not new.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah with money

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yes. People conducting cutting-edge research should receive suitable compensation. Don't see a problem with that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

yea thats the only reason, just higher salary only if it matches the HCOL in there area, otherwise they wouldnt have come here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

& then that research gets gatekept by said country, do you agree to that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

its gatekeeped in alot of ways, its complex issue stemming back to undergrad. not only because of recent anti-science, and anti-dei initiatives, which adds to the problem.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I wasn't aware that publishing peer-reviewed work for anybody to read was "gatekeeping".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

thats only 1 part of the issue, its a minor but important part.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I said countries (as in governments & corporations)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I'm sure they're not.
I'm also pretty sure that they're working a lot better now than they were before...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I too enjoy the freedom to think my thoughts!

Yes move to Europe with stagnant economies and 60% tax rates. There are evident reasons why the EU isnt competitive, it's not a secret.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

doesnt really matter if USA has HCOL, extremely volatile politics, plus significant anti-science and intellectualism going on. alot of successful scientists tend to immigrate wealthy conservative countries like parts of india, and M.E, thats why there are ton of successful scientists that are well off to begin with.

when they made columbia or another university MED SCHOOL free for a while, they saw disadvantaged students were less likely to get in admissions than their richer white counterparts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I live better and more cheaply here than I did in the US, to each their own.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

America is a shithole that treats their workers like shit overall. I would love to be able to move to Europe.

I'd say we do pretty well and STILL have affordable healthcare. But I'm sure potholes and a few extra billionaires are worth the tradeoff.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And long ass vacations. I’m in.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago

Long ass vacays is true, I'll give you that one.
