I've been reporting on the science journal Nature for a while, and it's probably even more ideologically captured by the Left than Scientific American, which, for only the second time in its 179-year history, endorsed a political candidate: Kamala Harris. "In the November election, the U.S. faces two futures. In one, the new president offers the country better prospects, relying on science, solid evidence and the willingness to learn from experience. She pushes policies that boost good jobs nationwide by embracing technology and clean energy. She supports education, public health and reproductive rights. She treats the climate crisis as the emergency it is and seeks to mitigate its catastrophic storms, fires and droughts." they wrote.
"Relying on science." Well, Joe Biden did make her the czar of both Space Force and Artificial Intelligence.
But back to Nature. In 2018, it found that assigning gender by the genitals one is born with "has no foundation in science." In 2019, it was deemed that research on differences between the sexes was "rife with bias." In 2022, it posted, "A new ultraconservative supermajority on the United States’ top court is undermining science’s role in informing public policy." Nature also found that endorsing Joe Biden in 2020 "caused some to lose confidence in Nature and in US scientists generally."
Now, Nature is warning us that President Donald Trump is causing a brain drain never seen before.
Three out of four U.S. scientists are considering leaving the country. America is on the verge of a brain drain - one that will cost lives, discoveries, and our global edge.

Good. That would leave behind the actual scientists who still believe in the scientific method.

Nature reports:
The massive changes in US research brought about by the new administration of President Donald Trump are causing many scientists in the country to rethink their lives and careers. More than 1,200 scientists who responded to a Nature poll — three-quarters of the total respondents — are considering leaving the United States following the disruptions prompted by Trump. Europe and Canada were among the top choices for relocation.
Wow, Canada just scored three top-tier Yale professors, and now it's getting our scientists.
Oh no! The woke lab coats wanna flee? Let. Them. Go.

The same "scientists" who pushed lockdowns, masked toddlers, and called men "birthing people"? Pack their bags.
Real innovation doesn't come from cowards who threaten to leave, it comes from patriots who stay and build.
Only the communist ones, so actually this is a net positive.

Science tried to tell me men are women, kids should be taken from parents and being on time is racist. Are these real scientists or merely graduates with letters after their names?

Do they wear white lab coats? If they do, you must believe everything they say.

That's not doing science.
They cited their own poll … of clowns who still subscribe to Nature.
Wrong. And in your assertion, you explain a lot of what’s wrong with today’s highly politicized “science.”
— Chuck DeVore (@ChuckDeVore) March 31, 2025
It was 75% of self-responding individuals who subscribe to the left of center magazine “Nature.” As you know, this is the antithesis of a scientifically valid sample.
What he said. There was nothing scientific about this poll.
How many of them have significantly contributed to science?

Just don't tell me Bill Nye is considering leaving … I respect him so much.
