Scientists say they will leave America due to Trump administration

  • A survey reveals 75% of US Scientists are considering leaving the country due to funding cuts implemented by the Trump administration.
  • These cuts affect major scientific programs, including layoffs at NOAA, NASA, and potentially 10,000 workers at the Department of Health and Human Services.
  • Funding cuts also target NASA contracts, COVID research grants, and environmental grants, impacting institutions across the country.
  • Early-career researchers, including postgraduate and Ph.D. students, express significant concerns and consider leaving the US to pursue research opportunities elsewhere.
  • While some Scientists remain hopeful due to the US's advanced research facilities, others feel compelled to leave due to funding insecurity and political climate.
