Summary
Cuts to federal research funding under Trump are closing off career pathways for young scientists. NIH has suspended training programs, forcing researchers scramble for alternatives.
Universities are cutting graduate admissions and freezing hiring due to uncertainty, with agencies like NSF and USAID also delaying or reducing grants.
Some students are considering moving abroad for research opportunities.
Experts warn this could damage U.S. scientific leadership and diplomacy, as other nations, particularly China, may attract displaced talent and research collaborations.
I just wish the worthless cretins doing this would live long enough to see everyone crumble and their names vilified.
They’d have to possess shame for it to have any effect
If they lived that long they’d probably just end up creating a new country similar to North Korea where everyone glorifies them and treats them like a god.
Unfortunately, a real possibility.
