The Trump administration's proposed drastic cuts to NASA's science budget could derail future scientific research in the US, impacting the careers of aspiring scientists. Experts warn that this anti-science stance threatens America's global leadership in key research domains and is prompting many researchers to seek opportunities abroad. With shrinking job prospects, especially for PhD holders from abroad who are being denied visas, there is a rising trend of brain drain to countries like China and various European nations, which continue to invest in research and attract global talent.
We are embarking on a major experiment in restructuring the innovative engine in America, and China is the control. China is not going to cut its research budget in half.
Trump's outright anti-science agenda could have devastating knock-on effects for anybody looking to make a career in the sciences, preventing the next generation of researchers from flourishing.
