Going to put this out there in light of news of other researchers moving, because I think information sharing in our communities is a form of power, but Ashley and I are looking at opportunities outside of the US right now and considering it. I want to signal our openness to it.
Especially for her, as a tenured teaching professor in neurobiology whose entire lab & teaching practice is deeply grounded in equity & increasing success in STEM. Her extraordinary work makes local communities flourish

I totally get people's desire to leave. I can't help being reminded of the film version of V for Vendetta right now, when Evey tells V about the capture and murder of her parents;
"I remember them arguing at night. Mum wanted to leave the country. Dad refused. He said if we ran away, they would win. Win, like it was a game."
It's not a game. To win, you have to keep yourself safe. Like those who've left Hong Kong.
