Summary
The Netherlands announced a new fund to attract top scientists, responding to U.S. researchers leaving due to political pressures and funding cuts.
Education Minister Eppo Bruins emphasized the need for swift action to position the Netherlands as a refuge.
Dutch universities and research bodies support the initiative, citing the importance of academic freedom and innovation.
However, domestic budget cuts and proposed limits on skilled immigration could hinder recruitment. The initiative follows similar efforts by France to attract American talent.
The current govt is supposedly fiercly anti-immigrant. I guess its only poor people with dark complexity that they want to stop entering.
Someone should. Trump and Musk made it very clear scientists aren’t wanted in America.
Cool, now we need to sort out housing quick. Cause where will all those scientists stay!?
Damn I should have gotten my stem degree
probably need a PHD, i dont think they are in the market for BS or MS in stems. alot of people often end up with the former rather than the latter, the lack of stem experience opportunities(aka lab work/research) make it very hard to get to the PHD levels.
covid has been terrible for people in the states that had to go through thier whole college experience ONLINE only. it was bad before covid, covid just unmasked everything thats wrong with career development of stem majors.
I didn’t realize it was that bad pre-covid
lab experience/research is pretty difficult to get into on the undergrad levels, some some schools dont openly say you need this or that, or they have labs at the school. probably best for people in bio at least go into health only, since the jobs are there.
in research its very hard to get into being a scientist. alot of people do try to become faculty at colleges, but its very competitive, and your also waiting for a tenure to retire or croak for a seat to open up.
i dont know how many universities are affected by many state uni in the west had to slash thier classes and instructors because there is not enough people going to college(undegrad enrollment). some other ones are on the verge on closing altogether.

What about scientists who prefer to bottom?
They can come to my place.
Those are the Nederland’s scientists, it’s kind of a critical component of the offer (obviously). You still have a chance to be part of the program, but you have to get there FAST.
Hello. Yes, I do science?
We’ve been over this. Whatever is going on in your fridge does not count as science
Meanwhile most universities have been on strike like last week.
and some state universities in my area have been losing so much students over the past few years they had to cut so many things, reducing potential future scientists. cutting certain classes, and instructors too.
I was the top scientist in my 6th grade class, dm me offers
I once tin plated a penny and heated it up until it became bronze, when should I expect to start the move?
I know science. you put the thing in the thing and you write it down.
then, you put another thing in the thing and you write that down.
repeat ad nauseam.
Am are scientist, am are smart! Gib me mony please!
