“This is my home — I really love my country,” says a graduate student at a top US university who works in plant genomics and agriculture. “But a lot of my mentors have been telling me to get out, right now.”
A recent Nature poll has found that 75% of researchers surveyed are considering leaving the United States for jobs abroad, with a higher percentage among early-career researchers.
Many are actively looking for jobs in Canada and Europe.

Addressing the vigil on the phone from inside the GEO Group ICE Detention Center, Vizguerra said she came very close to being deported today but thanks her attorneys and supporters for mobilizing for her release.
She says a warrant for her arrest was never shown.
