could you imagine the brain drain if other countries started actively recruiting anyone with a hard science or math PhD in the next few years.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

A friend of mine works at a research lab here in Oslo, Norway, and says the number of US applicants have already skyrocketed.
That's a very big concern. It's hard to want to do scientific work when there's an administration hostile to everything you do, including saying g that it's made up.
I dunno how is research going on the US those days but here in my country, academy and science been full of shit since a long time ago, bureaucracy and money is all that matters now and seems like nobody will change that
Fascists are anti-empiricists by design, because their ideology is opposed to the truth about our world. None of their claims hold up to actual scrutiny, so they have to create "alternative facts" in order to trick others into thinking like them.
TBH many "scientists" are reaping what they've sown by serving capitalism/fascism for an easy buck.
Yeah, no - you obviously have no idea how little most of them make. Further, many of them just want to do the research they're interested in, and don't spend much time concerning themselves about the politics because politics is inherently irrational while science is all about being rational.
They will discredit science and technology and further create hatred toward the intelligentsia while using tech and science to do so.
