The Trump Effect: A Brain Drain That Could Change the Face of Science Forever

Policies of the Trump administration, specifically those of the MAGA agenda, are giving rise to fears of a major brain drain in America's scientific community. The combination of lessened research funds, stricter immigration policies, and heightened examination of overseas students is prompting numerous researchers to think about leaving America.

The continued flight of researchers threatens to undermine the U.S.'s status as a global scientific powerhouse and could have long-term implications for innovation and economic expansion.
