'China has introduced a visa that will allow young foreign researchers in STEM to move there without having to secure a job first. Before the introduction of the K visa, most foreign STEM researchers hoping to move to China had to find a job in advance and then apply for a work visa.'

China’s new scientist visa is a ‘serious bid’ for the world’s top talent
The country is easing migration for young researchers to boost its competitiveness in artificial intelligence, robotics and new materials.

It’s been buried in all the news today, but every scientist in the US should pay attention to this: Mike Lauer went out on a limb for us all, sending out a memo saying institutes should start awarding grants. And it looks like Trump/Musk fired him for that. 🧪

Can our universities be saved?
Universities are facing their biggest crisis in modern history, yet most are in denial and living in la-la land. Warning bells have been ringing for some years, but the descent has been precipitous. Just 25 years ago, Tony Blair unveiled the ‘knowledge-based economy’ to be powered by universities. They stood tall, untouchable, almost universally admired.
