I'm no nuclear physicist, but I'm heading out with my family. It's a computer science PhD, a applied mathematician with a PhD in education, and kids on track for engineering, history, computer science, art, and mathematics (we have a whole passel of kids).
My university has spent the last four years trying to hire a second faculty member to compliment my skill set and failed every time. I hope they succeed in the future, but now they'll need to hire two people to fully cover the classes.
Just going to leave this here: https://sccei.fsi.stanford.edu/china-briefs/reverse-brain-drain-exploring-trends-among-chinese-scientists-us
Hardly surprising considering the current funding climate and anti-intellectual sentiment of the current American administration. He will probably get an amazing salary and support to work on his project. Canada and Europe should set up something similar, easy visas and citizenship for American scientists and engineers.
Brain drain USA let’s goooo
The brain drain has begun.
What a smart long term move, alienating all the smart people into leaving
Smart for the people relying for stupid people to keep them in power
How long before they're not allowed to leave?
Given the rampant racism in US, I'm expecting they'll continue to encourage them to leave actually.
If the choice is having them help your "enemy" or subjecting them to personal trauma, which do you think they'll choose?
I mean this is why scientists are fleeing the US right now.
Are they though? I haven't seen many stories about it but would entirely expect this to be the case. Especially because many are suddenly unemployed.
China already has nukes. Come to Canada, man.
Eh, doesn't look like nukes are his specialty. Canada's lack of nuclear weapons isn't due to a lack of technical capability anyways
Fusion, not fission 😅
So moving straight to hydrogen bombs and skipping the atom bomb stage? That kind of move is always scary in Civ.
