In addition, international students looking at graduate degrees in STEM fields and also undergrads hoping to participate in research must be wondering about future funding for grant agencies in the US, such as NSF, NIH, DOE, etc, given single-party control over budgets and those agencies (along with what appears to be growing anti-elitist sentiments). Statements about climate change being a hoax and other anti-science statements are worrying from the perspective of whether professors will continue to have enough funding to maintain their current number of grad/post-doc students. Grants are typically given for several years, so there will be some delay in any such effects taking hold.
