A Nature poll of more than 1,000 scientists revealed that 75% of them are considering leaving the U.S. due to the uncertainties caused by the Trump administration’s slashing of federal and university funding.

Since January , the administration has reportedly laid off thousands of federal workers at agencies including the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA), and the National Park Service ( NPS ) The cuts are purportedly driven by the bottom line, but they are also in lockstep with the ideological framework of the administration.
