Meet our new English budgie! Like his brother Kiwi, he has a few unusual quirks, but we think he’s perfect!

Of all the stupid things that this regime has done, this is right up near the top. Postdoctoral researchers come to the US on H-1B visas. This will further destroy the US science enterprise. Stupid stupid stupid.

Fediverse! I need some help!
I have a fellowship to go to Aotearoa New Zealand for a few weeks, and also an offer of an additional fellowship to give lectures around NZ. This is INCREDIBLY EXCITING!!
...but I have a lot of animals! And it's going to be during Saskatchewan winter! The potential farm sitters I've reached out to locally have all fallen through, so I need help to find someone.
Not sure if I should put out an actual farm sitting job ad here? Or if there are better places to try?

@alwirtes Yep, good observation! That's Cicero, "Who Knows Only His Own Generation Remains Always a Child." It was suggested by President Norlin at our university, who stood up against the KKK's efforts to fire Catholic and Jewish faculty.
