If the choice is between $0 in the US and >$0 someplace else, you emigrate to >$0 if you want to continue your research.
- Joker_vD 4mo agoWell, for most "someplace else", the choice is =$0 too.
- tvink 4mo agoYou don't think the rest of the world is doing funded research?
- arjie 4mo agoInterestingly, if the US stopped spending you’d need the top 17 remaining countries to double their spending to absorb the American science industry. Doubling is a tall order and seventeen is a large number. Most likely fewer scientists will find employment in government funded academia if this came to be.
- 8note 4mo agocertainly true, but if another currency is also the reserve currency, that country/group will be spending all that money
- SubiculumCode 4mo agoOr paid half as well
- tdb7893 4mo agoI know scientists who want to move back home but can't because where they are from doesn't have funding for the research they do. Even with the uncertain federal funding it's still more viable than many places around the world.
- closewith 4mo agoI wonder where you suggest researchers go that is both granting funding and not attaching similar or more stringent strings to the money?
- PaulDavisThe1st 4mo agoAny country that doesn't openly say that it will bar funding to grant applications that include any word from a given list of words. Which, of the countries on this planet, is quite a few.
- closewith 4mo agoCan you name one?
- PaulDavisThe1st 4mo agoNo country in Europe does this, for example.
