Even less chance of me finding work in the UK now ...

UK scientists dropped from EU projects because of post-Brexit funding fears

Quote:Britain’s vote to leave the EU has unleashed a wave of discrimination against UK researchers, with elite universities in the country coming under pressure to abandon collaborations with European partners.

In a confidential survey of the UK’s Russell Group universities, the Guardian found cases of British academics being asked to leave EU-funded projects or to step down from leadership roles because they are considered a financial liability.

Quote:The backlash against UK researchers began immediately after the June referendum when the failure to plan for a post-Brexit Britain cast serious doubts over the chances of British organisations winning future EU funding.

It was difficult enough trying to establish an academic career, much harder than doing the actual PhD in the first place I found. I think this will be the final nail in the coffin of my moribund career.

They just don't care, since most people are nothing more than dirt under their nails. Hate is an emotion, but there's no emotion involved.

Agreed. I'd suggest that it's more from a sense of entitlement and contempt.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

So the DOW and the S&P 500 have set new record highs in the last two days.  It seems that we have moved on and left you Brits to your fate.
