"At the same time, the number of STEM Ph.D.s hired at every agency was dramatically lower last year than in 2024." That's because it's not easy to find a STEM PhD who doesn't believe in science. 😑

these people aren't moving overseas at the drop of a hat, they are taking other jobs to survive. american government science is world-class and other countries don't have the resources or flexibilr immigration policies that would be necessary to pick up our slack for when we fail

my partner is a PhD holder and was laid off directly as a result of RFK cutting funding to medical research. no, other countries and their universities are not jumping to hire people from the US, they will take you up for one interview and then the moment you start talking work visas, rejection

With respect, but the US already is. Even with a regime change and restoration of basic democracy, I think it will take a long time to restore the damage done to the scientific ecosystem and even longer to again attract the foreign talent that helped make American research world leading.

I'm researching on medical history. Johns Hopkins has been such a productive center in this field. But I guess it won't last with Trump doing this disgusting job all over the world. What could an emeritus c. 80 (ex-artist) do except making these drawings?
