New Florida law blocks Chinese students from academic labs
- xgstation 3y ago> The uncertainly created by the law has already put a freeze on making offers to research students in China for the fall of 2024, which normally happens in December and early January. “We have missed that window,” says Zhong-Ren Peng, a UF professor of urban planning who leads a center for adaptation planning and design. “And the best students cannot wait. Instead, they will go somewhere else.” It reminds me back to my undergrad time there was a Iranian mate in my class (physics major already) blocked from getting second F1 visa (visa for foreign students) for grad school for studying quantum information, and just end up with being a software engineer. The irony part is that most of quantum information works are more public accessible than proprietary code in some big corps.
