Multiple bright, young scientists I know have told me they will not be applying to jobs in TX & FL.

Faculty friends at institutions in these states have shared they are having trouble recruiting new students & concerned about what they could be accused of.

Having spent years working at UT Austin where I loved our weird & welcoming community, I’m deeply troubled watching things fall apart. texastribune.org/2023/07/25/te

With the upcoming moon missions and need to take on scientists to work on this, could this potentially have an impact on the Moon mission programe, if people won't move to Florida,

Hopefully by 2025 the people of FLorida will have come to their senses and voted DeSantis and his mob back in to hell, where they belong.

@zleap @Sheril

They won't. Florida has had repeated chances and they're going further to the right. Human rights matters more than working on a moon mission.

@Mxhrad @Sheril

Yes I fully agree, if it does impact on the space programme it may actually wake people up to the situation and the wide ranging consequences of policies.

@zleap @Sheril

It won't. They don't care about the success of their states, they just want bigots to keep them office.
