Maintained by Seed's editors, web editors, and the other people who make Seed tick, Page 3.14 points you in the direction of some of ScienceBlogs' finest offerings, plus the tastiest tidbits of science news and opinion from around the web.
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?"
The following bloggers have weighed in so far:
- Good Math, Bad Math: My first "Ask a science blogger" answer: Is there a brain drain?
- Adventures in Ethics and Science: Directionality of gray matter flux.
- Pharyngula: Ask me a question!
- Gene Expression: "Brain drain" follow up - put great minds to use!
- Uncertain Principles: Ask a ScienceBlogger: Brain Drain
- Living the Scientific Life (Scientist, Interrupted): Mothership Question #5: Brain Drain?
- Aetiology: Ask a SBer: brain drain?
- Framing Science: LEFT BEHIND IN ENGINEERING? The "Economic Competitiveness" Frame is a Major Tool Used to Sell Investment in Science; Duke University Students Question How Bad the Problem Really Is

Hmmm ... you did say back in April that ...
Put the US-centric blinders on again just for this post?? :-)
It also strikes me as an eccentric definition of "brain drain" that's being used. A brain drain in reference to country A normally refers to people from country A leaving that country, not to people from country B coming to country A in smaller numbers than in the past.
