Will be interesting to see where they go. Science funding in Europe is a fraction of what it is in the US, so Europe wouldn't be able to absorb large numbers of scientists leaving the US. China is probably the only other nation doing science investment on the scale of the US, I wonder how many might end up there.

Interesting that Terence himself pointed to offers from China as interested in embracing him.

Yeah, somebody of his calibre moving to China would be a very big deal.
