The media reported on the alarming scale of leaks of scientists from the US government

Scientists are leaving their positions in the American government en masse, and the brain drain has reached alarming proportions. This was reported by Bloomberg on February 11.

"A new report shows that since 2017, more than 10,000 employees with doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) have left the federal service," the material says.

According to the author of the article, the authorities dismiss people who are engaged in research and development and maintain systems on which many depend. Doctors of sciences in the field of STEM who are currently retiring are not retiring — they are being forced out or they are fleeing inefficiency, the agency writes.
