Correction

JUN 01, 2001

Correction: May 2001, page 26 —We regret that, due to an editorial mix-up, a quotation was misattributed. The paragraph in question was:

Bleak job prospects continue to be a major reason for students leaving physics early in their careers. While some PRC students may use physics as a means to get to a US university, Cornell University graduate student Nai Gong Zhang says he doesn’t believe it’s “a giant conspiracy. Young people [from China] were shocked to find it’s hard to get a job as a physicist.”

In fact, Nai-Gong Zhang was not interviewed for the story and we are unable to identify the actual source of the quote.
