Shutting out geniuses

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Emma Munday has an alarmingly optimistic CAPX piece on what she calls a golden opportunity for Britain, the opportunity to attract disaffected academic talent from the US. 

America is shutting out its geniuses: let’s welcome them

  • Donald Trump’s assault on US academia poses a golden opportunity for Britain
  • If we capture a fraction of the talent now looking to flee the US, we’ll supercharge our universities and economy
  • We need to broadcast a simple message: Ambitious and innovative? Britain wants you

America’s top universities have long been magnets for global talent. But now, they’re being dragged into a political storm – and Britain should seize the moment.

On May 5, US Education Secretary Linda McMahon barred Harvard from seeking federal research grants. Further threats followed: to over $1 billion in grant funding, and even to Harvard’s tax-exempt status – undermining due process while torpedoing a revered global brand. This assault on academia runs deeper: National Institutes of Health grants are drying up, nuclear scientists are being made redundant and visa chaos reigns. This isn’t fair politics – it’s America turning on talent.

Well worth reading as another insight into the arm-wavy fog which seems to have become a permanent feature of the political/academic landscape. The possibility that the UK will merely attract grant-hungry dullards is nowhere to be seen.
The article leaves a lingering impression that we need to be selective about our geniuses, in certain areas we need fewer geniuses, not more. For example, ARIA is mentioned with approval.

The Advanced Research and Innovation Agency (ARIA) – a government backed body – is funding nearly £60m that could allow real-world experiments, including in the UK.

As part of the Exploring Climate Cooling programme, projects in Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) will involve trying to thicken Arctic sea ice and make clouds more reflective.
