I’m actually really worried I’ve never seen this in my life (for context I just added pothos today and he’s like eating off one of their roots) please help is it okay.

I will be asking this to as many people from other countries as possible, but I am an 18 year old college student who is about halfway through my bachelors degree in biomedical science. I am, very unfortunately, American. After I graduated, I was planning to be both a masters and PhD in neuroscience/ a related field as I wanted to become a psychopharmacologist and do research on psilocybin microdosing / other psychoactives. This has been a dream of mine since I was at least a freshman in high school, and as the county is heading in a nosedive, (major research funding cut today, as well as the NSF being basically fully dismantled. Along with that they are continuing to cut student loans, especially past the graduate level) I’m wondering if I should even be pursuing stem anymore / if I should be moving to another country. I don’t think any research I miraculously even get the opportunity to do at university / in my professional career will be even taken as factual for at least another 50 years. Thanks, Canada.
