... Data from the Nature Careers global science jobs platform show that US scientists submitted 32% more applications for jobs abroad between January and March 2025 than during the same period in 2024. At the same time, the number of US-based users browsing jobs abroad increased by 35%.

In March alone, as the administration intensified its cuts to science, views rose by 68% compared with the same month last year.

More than 200 federal grants for research related to HIV and AIDS were abruptly terminated last month. Cuts to grants from the US National Institutes of Health for COVID-19 research were revealed, and the government began a US$400-million reduction in research grants at Columbia University in New York City, because of campus protests supporting Palestinians in the conflict with Israel.

"To see this big drop in views and applications to the US -- and the similar rise in those looking to leave -- is unprecedented," says James Richards, who leads the Global Talent Solutions team at Springer Nature, which includes the Nature Careers multidisciplinary science jobs board. As this article went to press, the board hosted 983 live vacancies. ...

The US was the best in the world when in came to impact and scientific advancement, often led by Federal science agencies. The Chinese are second in the world, but while many Chinese articles still have impact, their extreme "publish or die" mentality results in bad science or outright scientific fraud. While this does occur in the US, it is far less than the Chinese because our science is just better and we have a better review process.

Nevertheless, the Chinese are poised to usurp us from the top spot in the world.
