    True, but when the salaries in the US are double or tripple that in Europe it just doesn’t work out. American labs are also better equipped on average. No way Europe can compete with the US for scientific talent. The money is just not there. Our only hope is that the US voluntarily exits the competition, which seems to be what’s happening.

      That’s exactly what DOGE has done, they’re wrecking entire scientific fields and they changed the percentage of the money that can actually go to those nice labs for the things that didn’t get cut.

      Cost of living is better here too. And you won’t get censored much if you work with transgenic mice and such.
