Aix-Marseille University generates interest amid a US crackdown and calls for a ‘scientific refugee’ status

            interesting, seems chemical does have a niche that is still useful. the chem professors when i was in Community dint seem like they were going anywhere with thier fields so people really cant guage the difficulty and jobs of the field, they were content enough to teach it, but thier expectations were kinda high for this school. Only one i heard was a researcher at a university, but he was only a lab instructor.

            There’s a very high chance you might find work in the Netherlands. And it’s even better since it’s a really nice country and practically everyone speaks English. Germany is a bit rougher if you don’t speak the language, especially in non-tech related fields.

      There is a visa you can get in the uk which I’m considering for bs/ms holders within the past 5 years from specific schools that I’m seriously considering. The problem is it’s only for 2 years (3 with a phd)

        Just get over and figure out how to stay while there?

        Or marry and UK person. Even just pay for a marriage of convenience.

        Get out. Ship is sinking.
