Trumps “Who Cares?” Act. Becoming a good scientist typically requires a significant amount of education and training. It usually takes around 7 to 10 years or even longer to establish oneself as a respected scientist in a specific field.
I'm going to be a freakin' broken record for a Very. Long. Time.
The U.S.A. is going to be significantly weaker in the short-, near-, and long-term future. I said a couple of days or weeks ago that this was the United States' Brexit moment, but it is going to be worse than the UK's Brexit mistake.
Loose our scientists to other countries, deport research scientists and STEM students with foreign visas who are Professors and students and the mind trust of this country will be depleted and destroyed in health, science and education for decades to come.
It's not just the brain drain in the U.S., but international students, scientists, etc., who won't want to come to the U.S. due to this administration's policies.
When a nation's intellectuals start to leave, throughout history this has been a precipice to its downfall. 1/2
Actually yes. I have been working on a research project and there has been a lot of active talk about where to go. China is probably going to be the big spot especially since they are decades ahead of the US at this point when it comes to technological research
My parents came from China in the 1950s and helped start the first computer science department in Missouri in the 60s teaching those that started the computer age. Jack Dorsey was a student. Qualified immigrants today will go where they are welcomed. MAGA, your decisions will be felt for years!
We’re under grave threat; probably the gravest threat in our history. At the moment, democracy doesn’t have the upper hand. He is dismantling the country, and I am beginning to believe that we don’t have time to wait for another election.
The vast majority of the planet values Science these highly respected, experienced scientists would be fools to stay here... and do what? Launch Pizza PhDs?
If MAGA doesn't want Educators, Medical Professionals, Scientists, and Innovators...good! This country will never learn a damn thing apparently unless it falls apart.
America is a ripe for a brain drain.
Researchers and scientists will be coaxed to relocate to continue their research.
Canadian businesses and universities will greatly help.
Cutting science funding at home while other countries roll out the welcome mat for our researchers! First we chase them away, then we talk about deporting them Nothing says 'global leadership' like gift wrapping your best minds for other countries while hollering 'good riddance' as they leave.
To all the American scientists out there I’m truly happy that you’re capable of finding a place that appreciates you and allows you to do what you enjoy.
Will you work in this kind of govt??? Nobody will work here anymore… they have to offer them a very good damn deal to work here. Goodluck recruiting workers. I’d be like we’ll revisit 4 yrs from now, yeah 😂

No need to wait for education
No need to pay for education
The people are right here and all you have to do is hire them
