    The lasting effects of Boston’s biotech brain drain

    Massachusetts attracts scientists and researchers from across the world as a hub of biotech and biomedical research, but funding cuts enacted by the Trump administration, along with severe immigration policies, have changed that attraction to repulsion. Those same leaders in biomedical research are now relocating or changing careers altogether, searching for funding, stability and safety. The Globe partnered with MassInc. Polling Group to survey scientists who received funding from NIH on what impacts they’ve faced and the results were damning. Health reporters Sarah Rahal and Jonathan Saltzmann explain the results of this survey and what it means for the future of Boston’s biomedical industry. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Terrified screams when ICE surges in Maine

    When Fátima Lucas Henrique left home before 6 a.m. last Friday to head to her shift as a certified nursing assistant, it was with a sense of resolve. The ongoing immigration crackdown in the state wasn’t going to change that. Then came the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, rushing to her and forcing her from her car as onlookers honked their horns and shouted for help. Her terrified, piercing screams throughout the arrest, captured in a video widely circulated on social media, confirmed the fears and panic that many here worried would take hold once federal agents arrived. Maine has experienced a surge of federal agents in an effort the DHS has called "Operation Catch of the Day". Reporter Sabrina Shankman brings the immediate story of Fatima Lucas Henrique and the echoes of unrest that continued ICE presence in Maine has brought.

    Coming soon... Rümeysa Öztürk: An American Story

    On March 25th, Rümeysa Öztürk, an international student at Tufts University, was on the phone with her mother while walking to the campus interfaith center. Suddenly, she was surrounded by ICE agents in plainclothes and masks who stopped her and grabbed her wrists. She screamed in fear at the ambush, desperately crying out to her mother to call a friend for help, while the agents led her away. The video of the incident was chilling. The next day, what happened to Rümeysa Öztürk became front page news. An international student had been arrested, seemingly because of an op-ed she wrote in a student newspaper. In the six weeks that Rümeysa Öztürk was held in detention, she became a symbol of the lengths the Trump administration was willing to go in the largest deportation effort in United States’ history. Globe reporters Giulia McDonnell Nieto del Rio and Mark Arsenault spent months uncovering what led to the arrest and what happened after, inside and outside of detention. This podcast reveals the in-depth story of one student and the implications for freedom of speech and democracy in America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  7. Hull or High Water - When climate change hits home

    Hull or High Water - When climate change hits home

    Hull Massachusetts is a tiny beautiful beachfront community in a continuous battle against nature. The town sits on a low lying skinny peninsula prone to flooding from hide tides and storms. When the town floods, homes are damaged, residents can be cut off from the mainland, and emergency services lose access to parts of the town.  Everyone agrees this is a problem. And yet local government and citizen action groups sometimes disagree about what to do about it.  Chris Krahforst, the town’s director of climate adaptation and conservation, does his best to keep Hull’s beaches intact and advocate for residents to learn about climate change and adapt or prepare. Liz Kay, a resident, organizes outreach programs and is active on a few community citizen action groups dedicated to disseminating information about flooding, climate change, and what to do about it (or not).  Bartley Kelly, the town’s building commissioner and elected chairman of the redevelopment authority, thinks the town should continue to build to revitalize the economy – and remains skeptical about sea level rise and climate change. Bryan Fenelon, a born and raised resident of Hull, thinks something ought to be done quickly, without so much red tape.  To read more about flooding in Massachusetts, with maps, charts, and more, check out The Boston Globe's flooding package here.
