The Great US Brain Drain

The Great US Brain Drain

Well, folks, the results are in: 2025 was a rough year for American science. Massive funding cuts to research and development aren't just slowing the pace of innovation -- they're also sending thousands of the nation's best and brightest out of the country... and straight into the arms of nations that would love to have them.

In tonight's episode, Ben, Matt and Noel dive deep into the new era of Brain Drain.
