Some scientists in the US are contemplating leaving the country due to significant disruptions to research funding and job stability instigated by the Trump administration. Cuts to public-health agencies and the freezing of biomedical research funding have led researchers to seek opportunities abroad, particularly in Europe, Australia, and Asia. Affected researchers express feelings of stress and uncertainty, and many are networking for potential job opportunities outside the US, indicating a concerning trend for the future of science and research in the country.
