The rigorous policy pursued by Donald Trump against the top university The US-and not only-seems to have been in addition to tensions and volatility to the Rector and students, it has been able to influence the base of America and the wave of scientists it receives each year.
Although the US for many years have been a ‘attraction’ of young and talented scientistthis seems to be changing. Hundreds of researchers and doctors turn their back on the US on the one hand cuts in the funding of research and universities, On the other hand at Strict American immigration policy.
The world superiority that the US has long enjoyed in health, biology, natural sciences and other areasmay be approaching its end, warn the New York Times.
Donald Trump’s government has reached the point of preventing any international student from attending Harvardand more than $ 3 billion In research grants to the university, they were terminated or paused.
At the university Johns Hopkinsa stronghold of scientific research, officials announced the redundancies of more than 2,000 people after the loss of $ 800 million in state grants.
In the analysis of the New York Times it was found that the National Institute of Sciencesthe world’s leading funding organization in the natural sciences, issues funding for new grants with the slowest pace than at least 1990.
A striking example of the aversion of scientists to the US is the city of Bangalore, India, which is known to send recruits around the world to do innovative research.
But this year this year is not an ordinary year.
Many of the scientists did not choose the US to pursue their profession and seem to be turning to aHostria, Japan and Australia.
Many even chose to remain in India.
Many foreign governments such as France, Australia and Austriathey have begun to “flirt” openly with American scientists.
But the fact that the US has been in the field for so long is deeply concerned that research worldwide will be affected.
It is still too early to say whether Europe or China can play an international leading role in science, although the analysis states that Europe has filled part of the vacuum in hiring its graduates.
