Never played a conquest game where you stop researchers from giving your empire a tech advantage over others.

Brain drain is a difficult downward spiral to break out of once it starts.
This is something I think a lot of people don’t realize; It’s a cascading failure. It’s not just that some competent people will leave the country. The rest of their teams will have to bear the extra burden and be demoralized. They will then feel compelled to leave as well.
It’s happened numerous times in both the public and private sectors. Now they’re deliberately trying to do this shit on a national scale. If we ever recover from this, it’s going to take decades…
Well, that happened to Germany back in the 1930s/40s. Before that, about 1/3 of Nobel Prizes went to German scientists.
Of course a large percentage of those German scientists were Jewish, weren't they?
The country built on brain drain, assumes it is great without the brain.
I hope the scientist find favorable places that value science.
remember germany, they wouldve develop thier own atomic weapons if wernt the persecution of the jewish and asian scientists. same thing happen in the cold war, persecution of"communism" caused some chinese scientist to flee, and resulted in the CCP gaining access to hydrogen bombs from fission bombs much quicker than any other country.
And still some people think it will be fine in 3.5 years.
Oh my god it’s only been half a year D:
5 months, he was inaugurated January 20th
Fuuuuck this is depressing

Or another way to look at it- cutting nearly 75% of scientists. Can't have climate change if there's no one working! Watch them find some money to give to ExxonMobile to 'study' the impacts of fossil fuels. Wonder what that report will say! /s
No need for the /s I fully expect that is what will happen. Also a great firewall, so yanks can't access unapproved information from over seas
This is a huge opportunity for countries who always played second fiddle in science and tech.
Hey Europe and Canada, anyone still looking for a scientist that just wants to do lab work? I prefer chemistry, but am happy with micro too. Just let me interpret data, please. I'm stuck somewhere where titrations are the most complex process.
The pharma industry is currently booming in Denmark (Novo and others are expanding like crazy), so perhaps you could try and look into that
German universities are always hiring. Always. And in my experience they need just about everyone

RIP america is music to my ears.
Making everywhere else, great again.
Welcome to Europe, researchers!
Lots of great choices and don't worry, you can move to France without knowing French or Denmark without knowing Danish!

If you can get out, now's the time.
If not, now's the time to buy guns and ammo.
I got out to,the UK, but England is full of wannabe Americans that couldn't get into the US to live if they wanted to. But they're intent on turning the UK into an American territory. These idiots are fully prepared to privatize the NHS and their infrastructure because their white buddies across the pond are somehow a great example of how to advance a country.
Lots of Ameriboos over here with no shame. They'd lick trump's dirty ass if they could become the 51st state.
