This threatens to be a bigger brain drain than just elite University-level scientists. I know of several US IT professionals who are in the process of getting European citizenship through parent and grandparent eligibility. And some of these are moderate conservatives, not just liberals. There’s a lot of unease at least on the coasts.
I’m weighing up moving back to the UK myself. After over two decades I had never felt the need to even consider this before now. Hopefully it won’t come to that, not least because it would mean uprooting my entire family, it works be a big headache, and because I know the UK isn’t a bed of roses right now either. But the way shit is rapidly unraveling here in the US, I might not have a choice in a few years.
