What Europe should do RIGHT NOW: Make it extremely easy for US scientists to get long-term visa, create as many additional research jobs in key areas as possible, create new, generous science and research funds. People are losing their jobs over there NOW. Let‘s welcome them.

This is a brilliant idea.
I suspect that #europe bureaucracy moves too slowly to respond to an emergency like this.
I can imagine #Canada or #mexico being nimble enough to make a move.

In fact, if the #mexican government proposed this, many scientists would jump at the chance and it would advance Mexico's position overnight.

Perhaps NGOs like Max Plank institute, Nobel foundation, etc could establish local centers in Mexico.

Perhaps the strongest argument in favor of Mexico is that many of these scientists are of non-european ancestry and they would be less welcomed by the local population in Europe 😕
