Power hates questions.
When billion-dollar empires hide behind welfare, when land and wealth stay untaxed, when elections lose meaning, capital and talent leave.
These are not slogans. They are warnings.

Opinion | America is losing scientists. Here’s a solution – The Washington Post

The assumption that top researchers will endure any visa hardship to stay in the U.S. is obsolete.

By Chris R. Glass, Chris R. Glass, a professor of the practice at Boston College, researches international student mobility and global talent flows.
America’s scientific dominance was never inevitable; in the 1920s, serious PhDs went to Europe. World War II changed everything. Afterward, the United States built an unmatched innovation ecosystem with massive federal investment in basic science coupled with risk-tolerant capital markets to commercialize new discoveries.
American policymakers grasped a crucial insight: They were investing in people, not just research. As scientists became strategic national assets, immigration policy was redesigned to recruit them.
America’s advantage persists. But bureaucratic ossification now threatens it, as our global rivals pick off the best and brightest that we have trained but can’t retain — unless we change our visa system.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine warned last year that the U.S. lacks a “whole-of-government talent strategy” for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Though U.S. universities rank first globally on research quality, our visa system is among the slowest and least predictable in the developed world. Our talent policy assumes that top researchers will endure any visa lottery or processing delay to stay in the U.S. That assumption is obsolete.
Both our allies and our adversaries have created visa systems that are faster, simpler and more certain. China’s new K-visa targets young STEM talent, and its Qiming Program recruits top scientists with $420,000 to $700,000 signing bonuses and full housing subsidies. Germany’s Opportunity Card allows skilled workers in before they find jobs. Britain’s High Potential Individual visa requires no job offer, just a top university degree. Japan’s J-Find gives recent PhD graduates two years to job-hunt or launch companies. And there are more.
Open Doors, an annual survey tracking international student enrollment in the U.S., reports significant growth in international PhD enrollment (up 25 percent over the past decade). Yet the Organization for Economic and Commercial Development’s 2023 Talent Attractiveness indicators ranked the United States eighth among OECD countries for highly skilled workers but note that it would have ranked second if not for its visa policies. Competitors have noticed and are happy to accept the talent we train but fail to keep.

But in a surprising turn, the #NIH began to spend at a breakneck pace & narrow this gap.
There was a catch, however: That money went to FEWER grants.
Which means less #research was funded in areas such as #aging, #diabetes, #strokes, #cancer & #MentalHealth.

"The country’s highest-achieving scientists have been leaving the Environmental Protection Agency in droves for the private sector.
It’s exactly what President Donald Trump’s administration said it was going to do: shrink the agency’s scientific research apparatus. It’s also an outcome that could come back to bite the EPA in times of crisis, departing researchers say."

Glass & others say #universities depend on #InternationalStudents to help power #research projects, bolster their revenue & help expose domestic students to a broader array of #cultures & #ideas. Foreign students make up about 6% of enrollment at #US #colleges.

…Many experts expect the numbers will continue to fall next year as many foreigners ecide to study in other countries instead. The number of #InternationalStudents applying to study at #US #colleges next year has fallen 9% so far, acc/to data collected from students who applied using the Common Application by Nov 1. The largest drops occurred among applicants from Asia & Africa.

That effort has included restricting travel from 19 nations; pushing #schools to limit the number of #InternationalStudents; temporarily pausing #StudentVisa screening interviews while the government revamped procedures to include tougher #socialmedia rules; & canceling #visas for students accused of “crimes”, overstaying their visa or participating in pro-Palestinian #HumanRights #protests.

Researchers, professors, & scientists r leaving Trump’s America in increasing numbers, choosing 2 settle in #Canada. Their reasons r often the same: concern over country’s #authoritarian drift & the freezing or cancellation of thousands of scientific research grants. The US #BrainDrain is real. In response, Canadian cities r launching targeted recruitment drives & programmes for international students 2 attract fresh talent»
In June, #Cornell University leaders warned that they anticipated #layoffs & had begun what they described as “a comprehensive review of programs & head count across the university,” where the work force had climbed by more than 15% in about 4 years.
The suspension of federal #funding turned that #growth into a #crisis.

If you live in the #US & think your country has turned to shit under #Trump - seriously consider #LEAVING IT.
With the #TrumpRegime’s morons running things into the ground, a sudden or continued #BrainDrain might open his supporters eyes, as the best & brightest get outta Dodge.
Things will only get uglier & more violent as time goes on
Time’s running out. If #ICE don’t target you or someone you care about, you’ll be dealing with #epidemics & no #FEMA or #CDC
