Those articles are actually pretty interesting. Too bad you wrapped them up in a lame, nationalistic topic title, so now no one will bother to read them.

I kind of lost my respect for his opinion when he suggested the Quran as a eugenics manual.

Wow! I'm impressed! Its surprising how few people found this thread. The world needs to know and RedAlgae is the man who can preach the truth to the world.

The U.S. has the most funding, and the best technologies to carry out research. That doesn't necessarily mean the research is being performed by Americans. This is easy to see if you go into higher education within the biomedical sciences.

I can only speak of psycho/neuro pharmacology, but we are losing a lot of good scientists because of all the red tape involved in the Controlled Substances Act procurring controlled substances/precursors and the economic situation in the field.
We are fantastic at inventing pills that will make your dick hard, but when it comes to coming up with new psychiatric drugs and whatnot we are falling behind rapidly.

a-a-a-a-a-a-h that felt good. What would I do without my whipping boys at the shroomery? The brain drain continues.
The European Commission (EC) has set out a range of measures intended to improve the career structure for researchers in Europe. One main aim is to stop the EU brain drain. In its press release, the commission emphasized the need to "prevent Europe's best scientists abandoning their careers in Europe in favour of more lucrative opportunities in the US and elsewhere."
http://www.the-scientist.com/news/20030724/05/
Stop the Brain Drain in Germany
German scientists over 35 risk ending up as unemployed knocking on closed doors where the academic appointment plans set up by state officials make no provision to employ them after twelve years of temporary work in public research institutions [1]. This is the reason for the mass migration across the ocean of Germany’s brightest minds. How to stop the brain drain? Recently German scientists put forward an initiative (http://www.maintainbrains.de) to remove the legal obstacles associated with the time limitation to work on a temporary basis. The principal goal of the initiative is to stop the brain drain of young German researchers by abolishing any time limits to work and to provide research perspectives at German public research institutions.
According to the federal university education law (Hochschulrahmengesetz HRG) scientists who decided for a career in publicly sponsored research institutions (such as universities, Max-Planck-, Leibniz- and Fraunhofer- institutes or Helmholtz-research centres) are restricted to a maximum of 5 years of employment on fixed-term contracts at one academic institution [2] independent of the scientific outcome of their research. This time limitation affects about 100 000 scientists [3] and pushes them to move from one institution to another to continue their research. This aspect of HRG is not considered in the recent discussions about careers of Germany´s scientists, which mostly concentrated on the junior professorships [4, 5].
In 2002 the HRG was modified introducing not only the junior professorship but also a 12 years limit for temporary work in the academic institutions [6]. The new time limit was considered to promote an activity of young scientists, however, the major drawback of this modification is that this time limit may not be exceeded even if researchers change their working place within the public institutions. In general, the twelve years limit for temporary work bans scientists to work in Germany, because research in the country is concentrated mostly in the public institutions. Fortunately, most recently the German Federal Constitutional Board [7] declared this modification of the HRG to be unconstitutional.
Meanwhile the German Ministry for Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung) plans to re-introduce this time limit into the HRG again by the end of this year [3, 8]. That is the reason why German researchers (more than 10,000) join their efforts to protest against the severe drawbacks in German science policy and to mobilise decision-makers in order to obtain an essential improvement of the work conditions in Germany.
Some German policy decision-makers claim proudly that researchers can obtain an extension of their temporary contracts after the time limits according to a law called Teilzeit und Befristungsgesetz (TzBfG) [6]. But such an extension of the contracts has to be prepared in a way that the researchers cannot demand a permanent position after the contracts were extended. As a consequence, the public research institutions decline precautionary any working contracts after the time limit.
We think that the primary criterion for obtaining a temporary (as well as a permanent) job in the research institutions (in Germany and elsewhere) should be scientific excellence of researchers, and hiring the personnel has to be independent from the duration of previous contracts of the employees at any public research institution.

The science field in general is saturated. I doubt they're finding much work over here.

Money talks. Funny though that euros get their PHDs for free back here and then go to America and cash in.
