I was pleased to see your Aug. 19 front-page article "U.S. Workers Are Grounded by Deep Cuts," since the absence of government researchers from our technical conferences is having a terrible impact. Beyond the scientific content and leadership that the government personnel normally provide at these conferences, travel restrictions are having other, longer-range consequences.
Outstanding students in engineering and science have normally considered a career in our national laboratories as desirable. Students now completing their degrees will be much less inclined to join organizations that do not permit them to participate effectively in the scientific community.
Travel restrictions have also created a terrible mood among scientists and engineers working in those laboratories. Many of them are already seeking work elsewhere.
Recruiting and retaining the best and the brightest for our government laboratories should be a national priority, but it is now much more difficult thanks to the travel restrictions and other cutbacks.
