Perspective: How anti-immigrant policies thwart scientific discovery

The knowledge stored in the library was also the product of many civilizations: Babylonian, Egyptian, Jewish, Persian, Hellenistic and later on, Roman. This made it an incredibly valuable, pan-cultural resource, enabling some of the most important scientific books of all time to be written there, using data from much older traditions. The library helped Alexandria to retain its reputation as an unparalleled center of learning for several centuries.

But this status is now under threat. Recent changes to immigration policy have implemented bans on people entering the United States from certain countries, while the administrative load and wait times for entry into the country have been increased across the board. Those with Arabic names often find themselves subject to increased scrutiny and checks when applying to work or study in America, and recently this discriminatory process has widened to include Chinese nationals as well.

The next stage in the process, one that is already happening in Brexit-beleaguered Britain, is that immigrants already living there have begun to feel unwelcome, causing some to leave. Britain is looking for around 10,000 doctors to work in the National Health Service, and the vast majority of these will have to come from other countries.

But in 976, the city’s ruler, Al-Hakam II died. His son and heir was a vulnerable 11-year-old, leaving the path clear for his vizier, al-Mansur, to seize power. Under the spell of religious conservatives, al-Mansur devastated the city, ransacking many of the libraries and destroying any text he deemed heretical, especially those on ancient scientific subjects like astronomy.

Woman Conducting Ongoing Scientific Experiment On Own SkinDULUTH, MN—Noting her methodic applications of various chemical agents in carefully controlled combinations, sources confirmed Wednesday that local woman Sara Holloway has been carrying out an open-ended scientific experiment on her own skin. “I just got this new moisturizer I’m going to try out,” Holloway, 32, said of the latest phase in the study she has been running for the past 17 years, testing a wide range of hypotheses regarding which synthetic compounds and colloidal solutions might best be employed to attain optimal elasticity, hydration, and smoothness in dermal tissues. “The other stuff was kind of leaving my skin feeling dry.
