Big change! More US Americans now move to Europe than Europeans to the US. Only 20 years ago the ratio was 4:1. We can make educated guesses regarding the political leaning of the voters leaving the US. This chart might be embarrassing for MAGA but it works in their favour. HT @benbawan

This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained."

Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding
With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.
