Brain Drain of American Scientists to Europe
The Trump administration's actions to reduce the federal workforce and cut spending are prompting some scientists to consider leaving the U.S. for Europe or Canada. European countries, like France and the Netherlands, are actively recruiting American scientists by offering funds and support for research projects. Schools in France have allocated millions to help American scientists continue their research. The American Association for the Advancement of Science CEO encourages scientists to stay in the U.S. to maintain its innovation engine.
