scientists, engineers, inventors will go to Europe, Canada, Australia and countries in Asia now. Top candidates for grad school and beyond will be leery of coming to an unfriendly United States. I already know one guy in my town that had a very high level job here in Connecticut and he just took a job in Shanghai for a start up company there. While he's of Chinese descent, he's lived most of his life here in the US and once the school year is over, his wife and 3 kids will be joining him in Shanghai.

We already lost some scientists when W banned fetal stem cell research at the start of his term in the early 2000s, but I think Trump could trigger a much bigger exodus, as well as fewer coming here.
