American Science is dying?

[Shimbiris]

Reminds me of an interaction I recently had with a Biochemist in Boston. They told me about how the government keeps gutting their funding under the current administration (I think it was prior as well) and they outright said, "If it continues like this American science is dead.", needles to say that I was shocked at that statement.

I live in the Greater Boston area nowadays and came here for an Analytics master's about 1.5 years back. Boston's the heart of American education and research so it was shocking to hear a researcher in such a place say that but when you couple what they said with what's in the video it really does seem to me like America's slowly on its way out as a global research hub...

As long as the millitary industrial complex is still around America will be a global leader in tech but the the climate change research will die out

The courts ordered Trump to continue the funding but the Chinese diaspora probably want to return home since there country is a super power now and with the Mini Cold War in the pacific post 2014 don’t blame them

Trump Administration Stalls Scientific Research Despite Court Ruling

Using an arcane law, officials have effectively delayed funding from the National Institutes of Health, leaving medical studies in jeopardy.

I have a feeling they are trying to ‘privatize’ all this stuff

It's not just "climate science". To be honest, in genuinely seems like your country is gutting pretty much everything that isn't focused on killing people and even then... but we'll see.
