My nephew (molecular virologist) is finishing up a 2 yr project in Brazil, and I don’t want him to come back to the US. Any opportunities in Canada or elsewhere? He prob knows where to look, but as a cool aunt, I’d love to provide some links 😎 🧪

Hey @nature.com don't forget to use the test tube emoji: 🧪 to add your posts to the Science feed. (I'm guessing you're on the list of approved posters.)

They should leave the country. Else they’ll find themselves teaching science classes to boys-only schools in which the Earth began 6000 years ago and climate change is punishment for our sins.

Terrible

Europe, Australia and New Zealand have a real opportunity here.

Not sure these countries have the capacity to absorb 6.3 million scientists (Europe’s total number of scientists is 17 million)

I doubt all 6.3 million would want to leave?

But we can certainly try and make it attractive for the top scientists to come over here and conduct their research.

The top scientists will be fine. It's all the rest of us small fry that need help.

Lots of work for scientists here.

I've considered it but unfortunately it probably isn't possible for me.

Well, in Europe, our industries are certainly in bad need for top talents! :) There are loooots of job opportunities here.

Links for my molecular virologist nephew (currently finishing up a 2 yr project in Brazil)? 🧪
