[extropy-chat] FWD (SK) Post-election brain drain? U.S. scientists being enticed to Europe

[Terry W. Colvin]

Germany and other European countries should make the most of the results of
the US presidential election to woo back researchers from America, a leading
stem cell researcher has suggested.

Germany now has a "unique opportunity to keep scientists in Germany and
recruit top scientists from around the world" because of the current "not
exactly rosy" research and political situation in the United States.

Already, 20 American researchers worried about the direction of American
science -- especially embryonic stem cell research -- in the coming years 
under
the Bush administration have been talking to Hans R. Schöler, head of the
Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the Max Planck Institute for
Molecular Biomedicine in Münsterore.

America's loss may be Europe's gain...
