"In response to a March 2025 survey by the preeminent journal Nature, 75 percent of U.S. scientists said that they are considering leaving the United States because of the "massive changes in U.S. research." It's important to note that the participants who responded to the Nature survey chose to do so, and therefore likely are not representative of all U.S. scientists."
"It includes: women, disability, bias, status, trauma, Black, Hispanic communities, as well as socioeconomic, ethnicity, and systemic racism. One public health scientist, referring to the ban as Orwellian, said: "If I can't say the word 'women,' I can't tell you that an abortion ban is going to hurt women. If I can't say race and ethnicity, I can't tell you that Hispanic communities are experiencing this and that or that there's less vaccination happening in [Black] communities.""
A March 2025 survey of U.S. scientists found 75 percent said they are considering leaving the United States because of massive changes in U.S. research. Respondents were self-selected and likely not representative of all U.S. scientists. Scientists cited funding freezes, banned language, banned research topics, targeted elimination of misinformation research, and policy restrictions as reasons for considering departure. A list of words circulated as banned by the National Science Foundation included demographic terms such as women, disability, Black, Hispanic, socioeconomic, ethnicity, and systemic racism. Psychological science faces particular impact because demographic questions are prevalent. These trends could produce lasting consequences for U.S. research capacity.
