\u2018We Are Witnessing a New Brain Drain\u2019 as Scientists Flee America for France<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aix Marseille University in France has said that 40 U.S. scientists have \u201canswered the call\u201d it put out earlier this month<\/a> offering safe harbor to fleeing Americans. Scientists in the U.S. under the Trump regime are facing a sudden loss of funding and stricter regulations on speech and areas of research. According to Aix Marseille University President Eric Berton, some of them will find a home in France.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In a press release about its \u201cSafe Space for Science\u201d initiative, the University announced that the 40 U.S. scientists included people from Stanford, Yale, NASA, the National Institute for Health, and George Washington University. It said that most of their research topics were related to \u201chealth (LGBT+ medicine, epidemiology, infectious diseases, inequalities, immunology, etc.), the environment and climate change\u2026as well as the humanities and social sciences\u2026and astrophysics.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aix Marseille University put out the call to American scientists<\/a> on March 7 as news continued that the Trump administration was pulling funding from many universities and putting heavy restrictions on research topics. \u201cWe are witnessing a new brain drain,<\/strong>\u201d Benton said on March 12. \u201cWe will do everything possible to help as many scientists as possible continue their research. But we cannot meet all the requests alone.\u201d He then called on the French and European governments for help.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
