Nearly one in five scientists thinking of leaving the U.S. in search of better funding
A coalition of top scientific and medical research groups is set to release a study next week which reveals that nearly 20 percent of scientists in the U.S. are considering leaving the country in favor of better funding environments. According to Sam Stein at Huffington Post, the lead organization, the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) found that the majority of U.S. scientists are receiving less federal help than they were three years ago in spite of the fact that they are spending more time writing grant requests in search of aid.
