Group 2: Evidence of Talent Outflow - There are early signs of talent outflow from the U.S., with a 32% increase in overseas job applications from U.S. researchers in early 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 [3]. - The number of U.S. researchers seeking positions in Canada surged by 41%, while applications from Canadian researchers to U.S. positions fell by 13% [3]. Group 3: International Recruitment Efforts - Countries like France, Germany, and Australia are actively trying to attract U.S. researchers, with initiatives such as France's "Choose France Research" platform and Germany's "Max Planck Transatlantic Program" [4]. - Australia has launched a global talent recruitment plan aimed at bringing top U.S. researchers to the country, viewing this as a unique opportunity to foster local scientific talent [4].
