Trump caused the brains to escape America

According to RCO News Agency, Last month, economist Matthias Doepke gathered three decades of his life in the United States and resigned from his work at Northwestern University. He sold his home in Evandon Illinois and joined his wife and three children in London.

According to Nature, Dopke will continue to investigate how economic development affects families and gender equality will continue at the London College of Political and Economic Sciences; Where he has gained it since year 2.

“I never thought I would go back to Europe someday or even leave Evandon,” says Dopke, an American citizen originally. Dopke’s departure from the United States comes following the drastic changes that the Trump administration has imposed on US science.

Four months after Trump’s inauguration, his government has launched the dissolution of research agencies, expelled scientists, reduced funding, cuts off funding and efforts to control universities. These actions have led some scientists to think about leaving the country.

Nature has spoken to five US researchers looking for new jobs or Turks for the United States because of these developments.

Research is not evaluated in this way

Dopke first thought of leaving America in year 2. Just after Trump won the presidential election. In the year 9, he traveled to England with his family, spending his time between London and Evandon since then to continue his career at Northwestern University. Their relocation was supposed to be without limitation. “We were going to try it, but we left the way back to America,” he says.

Trump’s re -election and his fierce attacks on science and immigration changed the matter compared to his first presidency. Dopke says: Research and knowledge will not be valued as before, if they are on the path of ideology. Here is no longer a good place to pursue a research profession.

“After five years of living in the country, forming a family and having a career and children who depend on here, it was not easy to leave the United States,” says Dopke. We felt happiness there.

Here is not a good space for planning for the future

Among the concerns about lowering budgets and increasing job instability in US science, a European person with a doctor at the Harvard University School of Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts, who did not want to be named, decided to leave the United States and accept a job offer at a European institution.

Despite the promising vision of the job in several cases of the Ivy League universities, the researcher, who works in the field of biology, withdrew from the request for those institutions. He decided to prioritize the balance between work and life and better job security.

She says: My decisions stem from my motivation to live in Europe. But political situations helped them become more bold. When your budget or right to live and work in a place may be deprived, that place is not a good place to plan future.

The researcher demanded anonymously because of concern that his views could endanger his research activities, as well as concern that critical talks would be carefully examined when leaving and entering the country. In recent months, there have been reports from researchers who have been arrested or prevented from entering the US borders in the wake of Trump’s suppression of immigrants. “These days, a visa researcher is sufficiently controversial,” he says.

US is at risk of losing many good scientists

After 5 years of work at Albert Einstein medical School in New York City, a neuroscientist who wants anonymity is now seriously investigating the United States.

Although the idea of ​​immigration to Europe has long been in his mind for personal and professional reasons, the political environment, concerns about the scientific budget and fear of the country have forced him to contact his colleagues abroad and make job requests. “This is not one of the moments that you say: If things get bad, I go, things are bad now,” he says.

He is looking for situations in Austria, Germany and Scotland, and says other members of his laboratory are ready to move from the United States and elsewhere.

He asked for anonymous request because of his institution’s concern that public speaking could endanger his government budget. “The United States is at risk of losing many scientists, and this does not help its competitive advantage,” he says.

The inability to follow the American dream is challenging

Kristin Weinstein studies automatic cancer and safety at his last year at his doctorate in Washington University of Medical School in Seattle. He is now examining his options to work abroad. Stopping recruitment at almost any large university institution, lack of postgraduate positions and reduced access to industrial businesses means that he is concerned about his chances of funding for sustainable research.

“I was always going to stay in the United States and make my profession here,” he says. When I think I’m an American and I can’t pursue American dream, it is really challenging.

Winstin used a conference in Switzerland this year to collect information from European scientists about the budget, expectations of postmodern students, and how to move to a permanent job. A former American colleague, now at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, has suggested to introduce him to faculty members to examine job opportunities.

Winstin and his partner, a nuclear material engineer, have a “decision -making matrix” they use to help them determine where they continue to work.

Although the US situation seems disappointing, Winstin says there are still reasons for hope, as there are people who continue to finance the investigation and lawyers are fighting in court to protect the budget that has already been approved. My hope is that someone will stop it, because it’s not over yet.

Seeing terror and fear was very strange

A molecular biologist who moved to the United States from Canada to work as a postgraduate student is now returning to Canada because of the worrying situation of the United States. He decided to worry about the security of his partner, who is part of the transgender person, and spoke with Nature on the condition of anonymousness. The Trump administration has introduced policies that target the group.

In January, the researcher was interviewing job positions at US universities, where the indirect funding budget issued by US National Health Institutions paying extra costs of the laboratory and scientists say they are essential for research, would be significantly reduced and reaches 5 % of its current value. He saw the desperate reactions of his colleagues when they found out that their job was threatened. Seeing their fear was the real.

The researcher is now in a phase of his career that can set up his own laboratory, saying that doing so in the United States will be almost impossible due to stopping employment and reducing admission to graduates.

He is concerned that the transgender of his partner can affect their perspective. “I’m not sure to get a visa without being treated differently,” he said. A number of his friends are also leaving the United States to Europe, China and Canada. Some also leave the university for industrial jobs.
