Sources are also taking brakes for at least A 50 % decrease in NSF budget For the Dodge deductions. This deduction is sending Antarctic scientists with assistants and graduate students. “We didn’t know if we could pay graduate students,” said one scientist. Although the continent is researched, scientists bring back the United States to implement and analyze their results. Many funds also run the sciences themselves: for a project that requires electricity to run detectors, scientists were unconscious, we will not be able to literally pay the Lite to the hungry experience for data. “This has not yet been concluded, but after the funding cycle resumes in the coming weeks and months, scientists are on the Hooks.
Sources tell Wired that Germany, Canada, Spain and China have already begun to take advantage of this uncertainty by recruiting US scientists focused on Antarctica.
“Foreign countries are actively recruiting my colleagues, and some have already gone,” says an Antarctic scientist. “My students are now looking at jobs abroad … people are coming [to the US] My whole life to do science. Now people are on the other way.
Another Antarctic scientist says “Now it’s a great time to see if someone wants to jump.” “I am worried about tancarded experts, or the mental drains of students who have ended.”
“The air caused by damage [Antarctic] Thus, the budget of science is going to the last generation, “says another.
During the deductions of the federal government, representatives have said that if something needs to be brought back, this may happen. In some cases, the vomiting has already happened: the US Department of Agriculture said Fired by mistake The staff is working to prevent the spread of the bird flu and is trying to restore them.
But in Antarctica, an upside will not necessarily work. An Antarctic scientist tells Wired, “One of the terrible things about this is that if the Antarctic program budget has been cut, then they will soon reach the point where they cannot keep the station open, very few science projects are underway.” If the pole south [station] Close, basically is almost impossible to bring it back. Everything will be frozen and buried in the snow. And the possibility of some other countries will be eliminated immediately.
