Kidnapping an activist and jailing him in the middle of the night is a brazen act of authoritarianism. Punishing dissent by revoking legal status is a dangerous precedent to set.

Thanks to the BBC World Service for having me on to talk about what’s happening at Columbia University, my affected research, and why we should care about what these funding cuts and disruptions are actually doing to the science that keeps all of us safe. bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…
