Summary
Trump’s proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) threaten U.S. biomedical research, forcing many scientists to consider leaving the country.
A 7 February policy would slash NIH funding by two-thirds, though a federal judge has temporarily blocked it.
Researchers relying on these grants fear for their jobs, with some already exploring options abroad.
The cuts particularly impact neuroscience, diabetes, and bird flu research, while also dismantling DEI initiatives.
Many scientists warn of long-term consequences for innovation and global health collaboration.
According to how some here treat russian people these scientists shouldn’t be welcomed anywhere since the majority of americans voted for trump.
The majority of Americans did not vote for Trump. You can do the math.
-63.9% of eligible voters voted in 2024.
-48.9% of those voted for Trump.

Ya you’re right. Statistically most people never bothered to vote, which makes them complicit and worse than actual Trump voters.
Yall can pretend to be innocent bystanders. Instead I think you’re a big piece of the problem. Maybe if you actually voted we wouldn’t have Trump.
Bring on the brain drain. Death to America.
consider how bad the job market it is for some stems before pandemic, its only getting worst anyways. some state university schools near my are cutting back alot, increasing tuition prices, reducing classes, and instructors some schools are considering combining with other nearby schools. theres also additional problems at the MS and PHD levels as well. Universities are holding onto tenured professors like they cant let them go, but not providing a path for graduates, or or adjuncts.
i checked my universities subreddit a few months back it was really bad. covid mainly made everyone take classes online, which caused students inability to learn anything, because you cant really focus on a subject when its just a powerpoint. I had a prof way before covid, and she only did biochemistry on powerpoint, and it was pretty much useless info since theres was very little learned very little. and her test questions are not even remotely close to what we learned on her lectures.
I’m pretty happy to see that Americans themselves are starting to see through the lie of “American Exceptionalism” that everyone else knew was propaganda decades ago.
Hey remember the brain drain US caused Canada for the past few decades? Would be nice to get some back
