An offer we couldn’t and shouldn’t refuse.
Are you a scientist researching feminist glaciology (it’s a thing), transgenderism, critical race theory, global warming or flat eartherism?
Come to France. They’ll pay your way.
In a press release, Aix-Marseille University is appealing to American researchers who fear threats, obstruction or censorship of their research by the Trump administration, particularly climate researchers.
“In a context where some scientists in the United States may feel threatened or hindered in their research, our university announces that it is setting up a program dedicated to welcoming scientists wishing to continue their work in an environment conducive to innovation, excellence and academic freedom ,” announced the university.
In recent years, 25 researchers from Ukraine, Yemen, Afghanistan or more recently the Palestinian territories have been welcomed in the south of France with their families, as part of the “Pause” program , which supports researchers and artists forced into exile.
American scientists will be able to study side-by-side with top-notch scientist talent from Yemen and Hamas. Just imagine the breakthroughs in transgender global warming suicide bombing they’ll be able to unleash.
Don’t get too excited, woke PhDs in post-scientific science viewed through a lens of critical race theory just yet.
The university’s “Safe Place for Science” program will provide 10 to 15 million euros ($11 to 16 million) that can accommodate around 15 researchers over three years.
$16 million won’t buy any more than a publicity stunt, which is what this is. But I think if the ‘researchers’ in question promised to stay in France and not come back, we could probably manage to subsidize this.
Wind tunnel testing on the aerodynamics of homosexuals being tossed from rooftops by mullahs?
That paints quite the picture.
My original comment was “Brilliant,” but the electron overlords declared that was too short.
Ooh. Good one.
No way. That might be useful to someone somewhere.
More like trans-gender operas for bi-sexual lamas in Kathmandu.
Let them go, and what an exciting adventure this will be for them. Now they can learn the new national language of France. Arabic. But since most scientists are atheists, they going to have to make some adjustments, when they embrace Islam…. or else.
Mocking is a powerful weapon. “Please, sir, may I have some more?”
lol … thanks KH 🙂
“Feminist glaciology” sounds about right . How many really are frigid?
I know you jest, but with the propensity of Federal Grant descriptions and then the ACTUAL use of the money, maybe YOU have ACCURATELY defined the grants!
Good show!
That’s what I was thinking. It doesn’t take much research to know frigid chicks are all ugly and so easy to avoid, though.
Says the guy who shared with us how good he slept after consuming opioids and a couple beers and then slept in a car at his Church (sic.)
Thanks for that opioid advice. Hardly anyone knew that just as hardly anyone watches the Olympics anymore, right?
You have serious stalker issues, Megalito. Careful, or your mental hospital my suspend your computer privileges.
I’m reminded of a joke I heard many years ago: “Why did it take the Nazis 2 days to invade France? Because it rained the first day!
Machismo is rare among the French. The country and culture that gave the world the Marquis De Sade.
If somebody specializes in the effects of cheese on rats they’ll qualify for a 1 million grant to do their thing in France. Or the effects of odor causing bacteria on armpits and islamopithecines.
Not to mention le marquis de La Fayette, right?
They can have Bill Nye and Michael Mann plus all the small minded Collage and Universties Professors and the entire membership of Union of Concerned Scients since their Concernes and all Political not Scientific
I can’t stand that phony guy Bill Nye. He’s not a real scientist or engineer. I was once a long time member of the Planetary Society up until they named him the CEO. I cancelled my membership not long thereafter. Those of us who are advocates of space exploration and the industrialization of space deserve better. Not a self promoting huckster like Bill Nye.
Bill Nye claimed he wanted to get into NASA, but he chose to be a standup comedian instead of pursuing a PhD.
If the Planetary Society named him CEO, that’s a major disgrace.
Bill Nye has been the CEO of the Planetary Society since 2010 and still holds that position. He injected politics and the climate change canard into the organization which tainted it’s purpose and goals. Since then membership has flat lined.
Carl Sagan would be greatly disappointed if he saw what Bill Nye and his ilk has done to an organization he help founded. An organization with so much potential that lost focused and went off on a climate change tangent once Bill Nye became the head guy.
That’s cool if they will pay for it. But 15 researchers over 3 years is a drop in the bucket.
Orwell would’ve killed for a million dollar grant when he was in Paris. 😛 Hell, he probably would’ve killed for a baguette.
Thanks again Jeff, I read that Orwell bit about Paris, was just thinking about it earlier before I saw your comment. Great writing !!!!!
Think Orwell recognized “church” isn’t a proper noun?
Do you think you would recognize a turd if you taste tested one?
France is offering refuge and consolation to those who once would have fled to Casablanca. That is where Rick told Ilsa “We’ll always have” Vichy. Remembrances of surrenders past.
Ever since the Vichy regime capitulated to the Nazis, France has been a joke.
Only problem with living in the Midi is that the food is irresistible. Oh, and the climate is glorious. And the scenery is magnificent. And the historic relics are exquisite. It’s a tough life.
Won’t Frenchies be repulsed by the Wokesters’ propensity for neutering language??
By all means, let them move to Marseille, et “bon voyage et bon vent”!
France may as well take our sewage and hazardous wastes as well.
