Kartik Sheth, who was recently laid off from NASA, reflects on the challenges facing American scientists amid funding cuts and layoffs. The uncertain job market has prompted many researchers to contemplate a move abroad to countries like France and Germany, which are actively recruiting talent. Prominent scientists express concerns about a potential brain drain in the U.S., as they reassess their long-term career prospects in light of President Trump's administration's affect on research funding.
"I think we could have a pretty major brain drain in the country. ... I think people are going to start to wonder if this is the place for me to continue to do science."
"People who were certain that they were going to spend their careers in the U.S., and stay in the U.S. for the next phase, are now totally reconsidering."
