[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as they're not hoping to engage in research while in college, should be fine.[/quote]

What does this mean? Why not research?[/quote]

He's cutting all the funding and grants. Anything with the word "woman" or "female" or "[b]diverse[/b]" or "environment" especially. I guess anything with the word "male" may survive as long as no "females" are studied or referenced in the same work. Nearly all NSF grants and other grants are frozen or "paused".[/quote]

Honestly it’s worse than that. Sometimes words like “diversity” are used in a scientific context and not at all pertaining to people and those are flagged and rejected. And here’s an example, albeit in a different setting: there was a neuroscience conference recently and there was a researcher’s poster about “diversity of afferent firing in the cochlea”. What that means is how nerves fire inside the ear in varying ways. Dudes in MAGA hats tore down the posters just because they saw the word, “diverse”. It’s just madness.

So anyway stem is out. I don’t know what a safe major is.
