🌟 The Future of Science in the US: A Call for Action 🌟
In a recent discourse, Glass highlighted critical challenges facing the US scientific community, particularly post-Trump cuts. These policies are displacing research groups and hindering innovation at key institutions. As scientists seek environments conducive to progress, many are considering moves abroad.
Key Insights:
- Displacement of Talent: Researchers are uprooted from labs, losing access to essential equipment.
- Visa Recommendations: Glass suggests fast-tracking green cards for STEM talent in AI, machine learning, and quantum computing.
- Unlocking Potential: The O-1A visa, aimed at international researchers, remains underused and yet uncapped; redefining “extraordinary” could change this.
- Long-Term Impact: Without reform, the US risks a significant talent drain, affecting science both now and in the future.
