More than 1,000 scientists protested in Argentina against severe cuts to scientific funding initiated by President Javier Milei. The protests, inspired by the Netflix series 'The Eternaut', symbolize the fight against oppression through unity. Since taking office in late 2023, Milei's administration has halted research funding, leading to layoffs and diminished salaries, pushing many researchers to seek opportunities abroad. The National Agency for the Promotion of Research has ceased funding calls, and many scientists worry about basic operational needs in laboratories, with salaries decreasing significantly since the new government took charge.
Since Javier Milei took office, the Argentine science sector has experienced severe funding cuts, leading to layoffs, halted research, and a brain drain of scientists.
Protests by over 1,000 scientists highlighted the dire consequences of government budget cuts on the research community, as they wore masks reminiscent of 'The Eternaut'.
