Great idea! @maxplanck.de is in the process of creating a program for US researchers, should open soon.
Many US students don’t know how to seek opportunities outside the US. With some help from our colleagues in EU and Canada, we could put together a consolidated website of PhD opportunities and scholarships outside the US, organized by field. There might still be time for this year in some places.
I’m having similar conversations and sharing international opportunities a lot. I’m sure for a lot of US based trainees that feels overwhelming. I moved to Europe for my postdoc.Happy to chat with any trainees about my experience if it would be helpful.

“We will not control the outbreak in poultry until we control it in cattle. This will require cattle vaccination.”
The USDA’s National Centers for Animal Health in Ames, Iowa, where the vaccine research is taking place, was hit with dozens of layoffs.

Trump administration takes aim at bird flu. For now, the cattle will have to wait
The USDA's new plan tackles H5N1 bird flu as an issue of economic concern, and leaves questions about how to manage the threat H5N1-infected cows pose to people.

“The discovery of H5N1 in black rats — a typically urban species — provides another route for potential exposure to humans and their pets. The virus can be transmitted via droppings, urine, blood and saliva. The rats also provide a vessel for the virus to move between farms and houses.”
H5N1 bird flu found in four Southern California rats
As the H5N1 bird flu virus continues to spread among animals, the discovery of infected rats in Riverside County provides another example of the virus' penchant for surprise.

Airborne Transmission Of Highly Pathogenic Bird Flu
Research shows that highly pathogenic avian influenza can be transmitted among farms by wind. Air intake systems are implicated in spreading H5N1 in the Czech Republic.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.
If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The Department of Government Efficiency isn't interested in efficiency. Or transparency, or cutting costs. It's real goal is to destroy the federal civil service. In other words, regime change. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.
The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.
Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.
