French President Emmanuel Macron made a plea to US-based researchers who have been affected by Donald Trump’s policies to choose Europe.
“If you love freedom, come and do research here,” Macron said Monday at the Sorbonne University in Paris as he attacked US decisions to shut down university programs. “No one could have thought that this great democracy, whose economic model relies so heavily on free science, innovation, and its ability over the past three decades to innovate more than the Europeans and to spread this innovation more widely, would make such a mistake.”
