Brain Drain


As the Trump administration cut billions of dollars in federal funding to scientific research, thousands of scientists in the U.S. lost their jobs or grants — and governments and universities around the world spotted an opportunity.

The “Canada Leads” program, launched in April, hopes to foster the next generation of innovators by bringing early-career biomedical researchers north of the border.

Aix-Marseille University in France started the “Safe Place for Science” program in March — pledging to “welcome” U.S.-based scientists who “may feel threatened or hindered in their research.”

Australia’s “Global Talent Attraction Program,” announced in April, promises competitive salaries and relocation packages.



One thing that is for sure, America will never be the same when Trump is done with us.

It is doubtful we will ever recover the mantel as leader of the free world.
 
The next step by the Trump admin to make sure the best and the brightest stay far away from the US.



President Donald Trump's administration has ordered its missions abroad to stop scheduling new appointments for student and exchange visitor visa applicants as the State Department prepares to expand social media vetting of foreign students, according to an internal cable seen by Reuters on Tuesday.
 
And more...


Immediately after the Trump administration tried to halt Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, Asian countries swooped in to snap up talented students and professionals no longer able -- or willing -- to work and study in the U.S.

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has offered unconditional admission to displaced Harvard students, along with streamlined admissions processes and academic support.

Do you have a solution to antisemitism or just "I hate Trump"

Smart people don't believe his everyday, constant lies - " keep them stupid" is his motto

The solution to antisemitism certainly does not involve cutting funds allocated to scientific research Al. 40% of Trump supporters are racists and anti Semites. Remember the very Trumpy “Unite The Right” rally? The chant was “Jews Will Not Replace Us”. Did you miss that one?

Trump, and the right wing in general have been hating on and attacking higher education here in the US for over 50 years. Now that hate has come to a crescendo with Trump leading the charge. The fascists scum behind Trump know that education of the people is their worst enemy. They prefer a nation made up of dim witted morons who get their world view fed to them by the lying ass holes at Fox News, Breitbart and other purveyors of filthy lies.
 
and the next hit...



Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday that he may bar government scientists from publishing in the world’s leading medical journals, instead proposing the creation of “in-house” publications by his agency
 
It's hard to believe that everything that helps us be better in all areas of our life are now being censored and kept from us.
This administration is so backward thinking... in all their endeavors.

They are literally taking us back to the 1800s when we were behind the rest of the world in education and knowledge. It is doubtful our country ever recovers from the damage Trump is doing

Yes, I agree. It's heartbreaking.
The future for our country is looking bad these days. How it ends after Trump's through will take some real leaders to set us back on track again -- if ever.
Depressing outlook for sure as it stands now.
 
What the medical industrial complex? That is absurd!!!

How Chronic Disease Became the Biggest Scourge in American Health

It appears the read your link has thoughts on it... not absurd at all.
Excerpt:
_______
The fractured U.S. health system also contributes to our lagging health, researchers say. Unlike other peer nations, the U.S. doesn’t guarantee healthcare coverage. We spend more per person because prices are higher, and Americans are more likely to report skipping care because of cost. We also have fewer doctors per capita than many peer countries, data show.
The U.S. is arguably the best in the world at treating complex diseases, says Dr. Philip Landrigan, director of the global public health program at Boston College. But it is worse at providing access to care and services that help manage or prevent illness, he says.

The New Dark Age
The Trump administration has launched an attack on knowledge itself.

By Adam Serwer
The warlords who sacked Rome did not intend to doom Western Europe to centuries of ignorance. It was not a foreseeable consequence of their actions. The same cannot be said of the sweeping attack on human knowledge and progress that the Trump administration is now undertaking—a deliberate destruction of education, science, and history, conducted with a fanaticism that recalls the Dark Ages that followed Rome’s fall.
