The Daily Telegraph : The UK has lost its ability to attract the best scientists and its universities must pay academics more to reverse the “brain drain,” according to research by economists. Twice as many physicists from a sample of the world’s elite left Britain after completing their first degree than 25 other leading scientific countries, the study found.While Britain was second only to the US as the birthplace of the most highly-cited physicists, it fell below Germany, Switzerland, and Japan when current locations were compared.
