   What Europe should do RIGHT NOW: Make it extremely easy for US scientists to get long-term visa, create as many additional research jobs in key areas as possible, create new, generous science and research funds. People are losing their jobs over there NOW. Let‘s welcome them.

     This is a brilliant idea.
     I suspect that #europe bureaucracy moves too slowly to respond to an emergency like this.
     I can imagine #Canada or #mexico being nimble enough to make a move.

     In fact, if the #mexican government proposed this, many scientists would jump at the chance and it would advance Mexico's position overnight.

     Pretty much like the US did, when after 1933 German scientists fled the Third Reich?!?

     Why is this idea scary for me?

     Perhaps NGOs like Max Plank institute, Nobel foundation, etc could establish local centers in Mexico.

     Perhaps the strongest argument in favor of Mexico is that many of these scientists are of non-european ancestry and they would be less welcomed by the local population in Europe 😕

     @chrisstoecker Not just scientists, but medical practitioners, computer folk, etc. Lots of highly skilled industries are being impacted and a lot of people (myself included) are looking for an out. The poaching potential is enormous.

     @joeroe @chrisstoecker I'd hazard to say that the best paying and most in demand jobs are going to stay in the US. Regardless of industry.

     @chrisstoecker Thus solving the problem European academia has now, that we're swimming in research money but don't have enough PhDs to mop it all up?
