A very clear video of the societal impact of dismantling NIH and NSF. However, I would not be that US centered. These new breakthroughs may still happen, but the patents won’t be in the US, they will be own by China, EU or any other country, in some cases by scientists that were in the US…

Trump Admin’s $9 Billion Review of Harvard’s Grants Could Hit Boston’s Hospitals Hardest | News | The Harvard Crimson The Trump administration’s sweeping federal review of nearly $9 billion in multi-year research funding tied to Harvard has sparked uncertainty across the University β€” but the brunt of the planned cuts...

While this stand on values and principles at Harvard is needed, it makes the freeze (or termination) of the $9B in federal funding more likely, with the consequences that that would have all of us doing science within the Harvard community. We can only hope for the best.

Overseas universities see opportunity in U.S. β€˜brain drain’ But many U.S.-based scientists seeking to leave may struggle to find positions in countries grappling with funding issues of their own

β€œIf large numbers of academics working in the U.S. do decide to leave, Gold doubts other countries will be able to absorb them all. The end result, he warns, could be an exodus of talent from global science. β€œMy biggest fear,” he says, is that β€œwe’re going to lose a cohort of researchers.”” πŸ§ͺ
