I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't received any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since grants are typically for 3 years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.
In my 25-year career, I’ve never NOT had funding. I typically have 4 to 8 grants, which you need if you’re running an observation science program and have a technician, students, and postdocs.

The brain drain from science in the US isn't to other countries, but from science to non-science (e.g., I know scientists driving for Uber). The one exception is that students and postdocs are choosing other countries over the US because of the lack of funding, the danger, and the uncertainty.
