Scientific research is becoming one of the casualties as the Taliban again take control of Afghanistan, say experts who have lived and worked in the region.
Kenneth Holland, PhD, dean of academics, research and international affairs at O.P. Jindal Global University in India, was president of the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul from 2017 to 2019.
"The people of Afghanistan are losing one of their most valuable national assets -- the scientific mind," he told WebMD.
Holland says that researchers, funded by the United States government and grants from other Western organizations, "are now in danger, since the Taliban consider anyone who worked for the U.S. or its allies as 'traitors.'"
Holland says over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the amount and quality of scientific research done in Afghanistan.

Why, yes, I remember story after story about the breakthroughs in goathumping./s
Islam is NOT the religion of Science...
He has a Phd. but didn’t think to get out in time. Hmmm.
The mullahs will tell you that everything you need to know is in the holy crayon.

Dr. Fauci is on his way. He’s been humping our legs for over a year now.

The scientists need to be taken to a safe place, and then helped to integrate their skills into appropriate professional work, she says, so they “don’t end up as a taxi driver.”
She says she has been accused of “contributing to the brain drain” in Afghanistan, but once it is safe, “these researchers are nationalist enough to go back to Afghanistan.”
He may have a PhD, but he is a Dean which means that he no longer does any research.
They were probably “this close” to proving climate change in Afghanistan.
The way I read it, he is currently in India.
The people of Afghanistan need to solve their Tally man problem and that means taking to the streets and killing them all where they stand. The taliban are vastly outnumbered by citizens, but it would take courage and being willing to die for a cause.
So far I’ve yet to hear of any scientific breakthroughs coming out of any Islamic country, just death and bull shit.
Hundreds of years ago yes. Last couple hundred years, NO.

Yup.
