  1. Last thing the US needs. Americans are morons when it comes to science and math (I’m an American).

  2. Not going to lie, objectively, this is probably the coolest way to portray this information I can think of. I’ve never seen a graph like this and it totally makes sense. It’s like… integral thinking.

  3. Republican talk shows have been demonizing universities and science for decades. The end goal is to give that money to billionaires and the republican voting bloc fully support it while getting their panties in a wad about syrup bottles and beer commercials.

  5. Amazing article and viz but very depressing. It definitely sucks to be at a university right now, everyone is afraid for their job, their projects, their degrees, or their visas. People don’t realize that the sort of things going on in academia will shape the future decades from now, and by not doing this research in the US we’re sacrificing influence and technological leadership for limited short term gain.

  6. What an aesthetically pleasing way to demonstrate our demise

  8. The brain drain has already begun. It won’t be long until our brightest and most curious scientists will leave the US to find some other place to study and experiment and discover great things that will help their new home.

    Is America great yet?

  10. I think an important thing to note here is yes everything’s cut(except geo) but education took the biggest hit for everyone. That’s fucking terrifying. People are already retarded as we’ve learned.

  11. China is going to eat our lunch. We’re going to be behind for generations if this doesn’t stop soon.

  13. Makes sense to Trump I guess. Have to get more republicans somehow.
