I predicted that many who would normally come to the US would stay home or find another country.
I didn't predict that there would be semi-official offers made so people could jump.

If you have an advanced degree it is easy to get a work permit in Germany, and probably most of the EU. I'm sure England is looking to poach some talent also.

This is going to set US scientific research back at least 10 years.
