This week, I’ll post the Ask A ScienceBlogger question early, before the roundup. Here’s the query that the ScienceBloggers will be mulling over this week. Look for their answers, accumulating until Wednesday:

“Do you think there is a brain drain going on (i.e. foreign scientists not coming to work and study in the U.S. like they used to, because of new immigration rules and the general unpopularity of the U.S.) If so, what are its implications? Is there anything we can do about it?”
