+1 on this: The US stands out relative to other country because of decades of big-time investment in scientific infrastructure. That is why the US won on science and attracting talent.
Trump is dismantling that infrastructure now, but it has never existed in other countries to the same degree.

Yvette Cendes (whereisyvette.bsky.social): Pet peeve: I hate how often ppl claim "all the researchers will just move to Europe/Canada!" You vastly under-estimate how little money there is there vs the USA- and unless that changes ASAP this loss is just going to decimate global science, full stop. (link)
