Target, Boston: Other countries step up efforts to woo away top U.S. scientists

The NYT lists what other nations, mostly European countries, are doing to recruit top American scientists to their shores amid the Trump administration’s cuts in U.S. research funding. … You can bet much of their recruiting efforts will be, and already are, aimed at Boston-area researchers. … “This is a once-in-a-century brain gain opportunity,” one Australian institute has gleefully pronounced.  And they can thank DOGE for the brain-gain windfall. …The Herald had something on this subject last week. And Gov. Healey was warning about the competitive threat back in March, as the Globe reported.
