Feels bad to realize your profession isn't particularly useful outside of the U.S. I'd like to stay and fight regardless, but the reality is if I stop being able to get my meds there won't be much I can do besides being fodder.

Please please, also run to Canada, were closer by
I'm worried that if there's war you guys will be affected as well. Running further seems more reasonable.

Que Wierd Al- “Dare to be stupid”
They skipped the part where after the war we took the nazi scientists too...
But the old nazis were really into science, modern nazis not so much.
I don't think other countries are going to be chasing our science deniers like we chased rocket and medical scientists after the war.
You don’t think Europe wants our 19 year old whiz kids whose laptops overheat from processing excel files?

I hope this is true, with the attacks on science in the US, we’re really looking at falling backward here. I’m afraid we’ll lose good weather forecasting and GPS services very soon, to just name the low hanging fruit.
its true in some sense, if the pay goes out the window for scientist they will flee. theres already problems in the us getting people from undergrad to PHD(thats besides the current attack on it). such as wet lab work prior to graduation, plus who can even apply to grad school, if you dont have barely just to be under the requirements of grad schools. job prospects is low.
also grad school is more expensive since its not considered undergrad courses, and they charge more and you get no priority in classes. the biggest is wet lab work, where do you find it, catch 22
"intelligent people" are usually the first ones to be jailed or killed, and then they move on to blame POCs, and than other minorities.
