Adam Kleczkowski @aklecz.bsky.social · 27/01/2026As a senior academic working in STEM (outside the US), I find it very disappointing. I feel for my younger colleagues, on both sides of the Atlantic.

I was expecting to see something comparable generally, with PhDs leaving the US, but, apparently, not any change. Too few opportunities elsewhere? 000
