There isn’t enough money in the system to pay the scientists we already have.

so you're saying we're not serious?

Same for most of the EU. They can boost their research efforts with expatriate American scientists.

Just like American universities did with physicists and chemists ninety years ago.

We can really push the boat out and offer them 25 days holiday a year and paid maternity leave.

Sadly we will also offer them half their previous salary

Also treat them like fellow humans

There is going to be one of the biggest brain drains in history, and many countries will stand to benefit.

The UK’s arguably best placed to benefit, simply because of a lack of language barrier.

Ireland is best placed, no language barrier and inside EU

Probably, but will those looking to move from the US know of the EU benefits, or just think of heading to somewhere English speaking they’re vaguely familiar with (if only from films and TV) like London? Ireland needs to promote their extra advantage.

Language barrier didn't stop Einstein coming to America

there was no German speaking country for him to choose over America, kinda the whole point of the Nazi takeover of Europe thing

English speakers are capable of learning other languages was my point.

sure but barriers are barriers when you are going to uproot your entire life and your families
