Holden Thorp, editor of the Science journal, warns that the US may jeopardize its position as a leading research hub due to increasing restrictions on immigration and budget cuts to scientific programs. Over the last 80 years, government support has been pivotal in maintaining the country's dominance in innovation and research. Thorp highlights that the changes initiated during President Trump's administration could adversely affect the scientific community and hinder America's future capabilities in advancing technological developments and innovations.
Holden Thorp emphasizes that the US has traditionally led global research and development due to significant government funding. Recent policy shifts threaten this leadership role.
Thorp warns that the combination of stricter immigration policies and cuts to scientific research funding will ultimately damage the innovation landscape in the United States.
In an interview, Thorp states, 'Over the past 80 years, we have built a robust system of scientific research funding. Now, we risk dismantling that infrastructure.'
Thorp argues, 'The actions taken by the current administration could have long-lasting negative impacts on the scientific community and America's future in innovation.'
