My partner works in academic research. Morale is extremely low with many people exiting the industry entirely because of the uncertainty.
This is generational damage being done. Most of these people will not want to work in the public sector again, or at least anytime soon. The next admin will have difficulty coming back from this. This is by design.

"Last week, Aix Marseille University, France’s largest university ... announced that it is already seeing great interest from scientists at NASA, Yale, Stanford, and other American schools and government agencies, and that it wants to expand the program to other schools and European countries to absorb all the researchers who want to leave the United States." https://www.404media.co/nasa-yale-and-stanford-scientists-consider-scientific-exile-french-university-says/ https://www.404media.co/nasa-yale-and-stanford-scientists-co...

I think there was also a smaller, but also very significant setback at the start of the Bush Jr. era. We're stuck in a vicious cycle where every cancer researcher votes for the candidate they don't think will fire them, and then the other candidate tries to fire everyone who they know didn't vote for them.
