Scientists around the world are turning to other countries for research opportunities as U.S. labs struggle with funding cuts under the Trump administration.

Editor’s Note: This isn't just about politics—it's about the real-world impact on research that could shape everything from medicine to climate solutions. If top scientists leave or avoid the U.S., it weakens the country's role as a global leader in innovation. And that affects all of us, no matter where we live.
