The Indicator: American science brain drain : Short Wave

^{Published on 2025-05-12 03:42:11 - NPR}

- Today, we're airing an episode of NPR's daily economics podcast, The Indicator from Planet Money. It's about a group of people we know well: scientists. President Trump's federal cuts and scrutiny of academic institutions are forcing some U.S. scientists to head for the border. On today's show, an entomologist keeping America's farms safe from pests reconsiders America. And a CEO of a Canadian hospital explains how they are benefiting from the exodus. Want to learn more about the intersection of the economy? Email us at shortwave@npr.org.Listen to every episode of Short Wave sponsor-free and support our work at NPR by signing up for Short Wave+ at plus.npr.org/shortwave.

The article from NPR, dated May 12, 2025, discusses former President Donald Trump's proposed federal budget cuts that would significantly impact various sectors including medicine, science, and farming. Trump's budget proposal aims to reduce funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Department of Agriculture, among others. These cuts are met with strong opposition from Democrats and some Republicans, who argue that such reductions would hinder critical research, environmental protection, and support for farmers. The article highlights concerns from experts and stakeholders about the potential long-term negative effects on public health, scientific advancement, and agricultural sustainability.
