#US #Scientists Warn That Trump’s Cuts Will Set Off a Brain Drain
As the #UnitedStates cuts budgets and restricts immigration, #China and #Europe are offering researchers money and stability.
Applications from China and Europe for graduate student or #postdoctoral positions in US dropped sharply or dried up entirely since President Trump took office. The number of #postdocs and #graduatestudents in USA applying for jobs abroad has spiked.

The cold, hard facts are that #postdocs are the main drivers of scientific publications everywhere. If you want to make a society great, you have to protect the main drivers of innovation. It is absolutely short-sighted to cut funding in hopes of cutting costs. There are other areas of tax-payer monies to prioritize for cost-cutting. Research has a massive multiplier effect that is felt for many generations.
#Postdocs and #PhD students hit hard by Trump’s crackdown on #science, anxiety and fear grip early-career researchers.
Month of repeated threats to #US science funding, many early-career researchers are fearing for their careers. #Scientists especially vulnerable: graduate students, postdocs and scientists just starting their own labs are the researchers most likely to be living pay cheque to pay cheque, most reliant on federal grants for their income.
