Brain Drain

An informal term referring to the mass emigration/exodus of highly intelligent/skilled individuals, such as scientists, historians, scholars or writers, from their country of origin, due to social and/or political upheaval, repression of free speech, or administrative attacks on intellectual institutions.

A notable example of this phenomenon would be the exodus of Albert Einstein, who fled to the United States to escape persecution under the Nazi regime.
"the current administration has brought about a new brain drain, as a sizeable number of notable individuals in intellectual fields have left the country behind in hopes of better prospects and more freedom in their work."

#Drain

#Drain is about loss and gain; it could be good or bad -- you could be drained of energy or you could drain something to gain energy. There’s financial, emotional and physical drains, for example -- you could just be draining your bank account at the store. It doesn’t have to be deep.
