"Science in the United States in in trouble. The National Science Foundation, a
key research funding agency, has suffered devastating funding cuts under the
current administration. Critics say the cuts risk losing an entire generation
of young scientists.
In addition, about 280,000 scientists and engineers have been affected by US
federal workforce cuts. Billions of dollars in further cuts have been proposed
to US hospitals, universities and research institutions.
The US has long been the global destination for science. But perhaps no longer.
The rest of the world, including Australia, is looking to lure scientists from
the US.
And many of those scientists are looking to move. In March, a
Nature survey
suggested more than 75% of US researchers were considering leaving the country.
What moves are under way to capitalise on this American brain drain? Where does
Australia sit – and, importantly, are we doing enough?"
