Unimaginable a few weeks ago. But here we are. French university offering refuge to US scholars.
“It targets, but is not limited to, climate and environment, health, and human and social sciences.”

@claesdevreese American universities offered refuge to European scholars before WWII. John von Neumann, Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi and others fled from Europe to U.S. to escape fascism and nazism. Now it seems to be the other way round. @johncarlosbaez already moved to Scotland early on. Will Trump help to make science in Europe great again @Sheril ?https://pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/online/5299/The-scientific-exodus-from-Nazi-Germany

"Over 6,100 US citizens applied for British citizenship last year, the highest number recorded since data collection began two decades ago – a 26 per cent rise from 2023."
This is still a very tiny number! Will it increase? Btw, I'm not applying for UK citizenship, just trying to get the "right to remain", so it would be good to know how many people are doing that.
