Not in the immediate future. US scientists can and will find refuge in other countries for the time being. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00938-y

I think that the majority of them will realize that salaries for academics are pretty low compared to the US, and they will either join private labs or professionalize.

What does a Physics prof at Berkely earn these days? In Germany it would be around 10K€/month (lets ignore all tax etc stuff, just ballpark figure)
