Monocle: "Could Europe be about to benefit from Trump’s US brain drain?"

…up to 75 per cent of US-based scientists say that they are considering leaving the country.
(…)
While the US shoots itself in the foot, Europe might receive a shot in the arm.

Obviously something’s that been on my mind and that we started seeing in 2016. Feels like this is about to become a much bigger topic this time around. I, for one, welcome the upcoming scientific refugees to our Old Continent…

Two things to note, however:

  1. We need to ensure that while we welcome scientists, there are still lots of refugees seeking asylum in our country, that don’t get the same red carpet treatment. The government’s shift to the right isn’t something I’ve particularly enjoyed and I’m hoping that we can keep them accountable with regards to ensuring we don’t just open our doors to researchers…
  2. It would be hypocritical to welcome research academics while also cutting funding for education — something needs to improve for our children and their teachers.

Day 30: solitude #mbjune

A person sits on a sandy beach near the water’s edge with a surfboard beside them, gazing at the ocean.

I took this photo of my brother looking out at the sea, off the coast of Vietnam’s southern peninsula back in January 2016. Always loved this shot: one of my very first VSCO edit!

Day 28: ephemeral #mbjune

A pair of hands holds a bunch of ripe raspberries over a perforated blue surface.

Ephemeral, like the amount of time that the raspberries in our alleyway last these days when we pick ‘em!
