A natural poll of more than 1,000 scientists shows that 75% of them are considering leaving the United States as the Trump administration cuts federal and university funding.
Since the start of a second Trump term, it has allegedly cut funding for research on universities and federal agencies in the name of efficiency, which could hinder the country's ability to move needles on scientific discoveries.
Recent polls suggest that government actions could also endanger the country’s status as an oasis, fleeing uncertain or totally hostile attitudes abroad, including Nobel Prize winners Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr and Enrico Fermi, as well as many other fascist governments scattered throughout Europe, spread across Europe, many other scientists across the United States. As recent polls have shown, creepy effects can be aroused by the fact that researchers in the field seek greener pastures elsewhere.
According to nature, early in the career of a researcher, the number of people who want to leave is even higher, such as doctoral students and graduate researchers. As the poll shows, 690 (79.4%) of 548 postal codes are considering leaving, while 255 of 340 (75%) are weighing the decision. “Europe and Canada are the first choice for relocation,” Nature said.
Many researchers who talk to nature show that they don’t want to leave the United States, but the government’s attitude clearly shows that there will be better opportunities for scientific research abroad.
Earlier this month, the University of Aix Marseille in France said dozens of U.S. scientists have responded to a call to provide a safe harbor to Americans seeking to leave the country. Researchers who expressed interest came from institutions such as Stanford University, Yale University, NASA, and the National Institutes of Health.
The second Trump administration has a firm scientific goal in the crosshairs. Since January, the government has reportedly placed thousands of federal workers in institutions, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Park Service (NPS), as well as cutting funding in a wider range of institutions and programs.
Assuming the best intentions (as a thought experiment, thus pausing your suspicion), the government is trying to simplify the government by reducing wasteful spending, making American institutions and institutions as efficient as possible in their pursuit of discovery.
Now you can relieve your optimism. According to experts who spoke with Gizmodo, the government's instructions wreaked havoc on the efficiency of these institutions and have the potential to make years of progress at home and abroad.
However, some of these cuts are also consistent with Project 2025, a conservative campaign aimed at actively reducing environmental protection in the name of freedom and individual freedom. So while some layoffs are allegedly driven by the bottom line, they also relate to the government’s ideological framework.
This month, the Trump administration is considering cutting funding for domestic HIV prevention efforts – a review of Trump’s candid and credible agenda for his first term outlining the fight against HIV with the aim of eliminating the virus at home by 2030. It is not clear who is shocked by the Trump administration on HIV, but they are clearly infectious.
This has become a lightning rod in the conservative circle as a conservative figure representing the agenda of “wake up”, which has become a lightning rod in the conservative circle due to the cultural shift urged by the administration, especially the White House’s desire to demolish programs and languages, advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Last week, NASA Watch first reported that NASA's “Dei Sanitation Squad” had removed the graphic novel from the agency's website, which tells the fictional story of the first woman walking on the moon. Although the Artemis mission will change that, no woman walks on the moon, although it is not clear now whether this is a priority for the agent.
If the United States wants to maintain its height as a bastion of scientific discovery, it must show that it has the opportunity to build its own career and become a leader in its field. Over the past few months, the Trump administration has ousted them the concept and it looks like it will continue to go all out with its agenda.
