Flipboard Science Desk<p>Investment in research made the U.S. a global leader in science, technology, healthcare and education. That's changing, thanks to unprecedented federal cuts and the defunding of institutions. As a university lecturer and member of the American Astronomical Society, astrophysicist Ethan Siegel is witnessing it first hand, and seeing a generational loss of science across practically every discipline. He writes for Big Think about what that could mean for the rest of the world. "Hitler’s destruction of his nation’s science in 1930s Nazi Germany wound up benefiting the rest of the world through an exodus of scientists that became known as Hitler’s gift," he writes. "Other nations are aware of the situation in the U.S. and across the world, and they’re stepping up to invest in science ... It is, after all, how the US became an economic and scientific superpower in the 20th and 21st centuries, and if our nation is going to abandon those principles, other countries will certainly reap those benefits."</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/KQqycw" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/KQqycw</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/TrumpAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpAdministration</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/BrainDrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BrainDrain</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Universities</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Astrophysics</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NASA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NASA</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/GlobalScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalScience</span></a></p>
