Is it true that a 2026 survey of early-career researchers found widespread concern about the future of science in the United States?
Unclear. A 2026 rapid-response pilot survey of US early-career researchers reports respondents describing threats to their research and careers from federal funding cuts, and a 2026 national survey of early-career physician-scientists documents substantial challenges and intent to leave academia. Both cover only pilot or single-subgroup evidence, not a broad 2026 survey establishing widespread concern about the future of science.
