Did CERN offer some russian scientists positions? To really fuck with Russia they should have said 'not only are we going to stop collaborating with Russia, but all scientists who wants to continue their work will be allowed to get positions here'. That would undermine Russia even more and be more fair to the scientists.
Sure, absolutely. It is often a part of the sacrifice you do when doing postdocs and sometimes also for professors, that you live separated or you have the family move with you. Some universities also allows for the opening of a second position for the spouse for an incoming professor. This is of course a different situation. Successful or not, I'd hope that at least some offers have been handed out, giving them the choice.
You are missing my point. If Putin says that they should come back (and I have now doubt that this would happen if they are offered positions) they would go back.
(I'm pro-nuclear in general, but as a Georgia Power ratepayer it gets kind of hard when you've already been on the hook for paying for the goddamn thing for years before it even generates its first watt.)
@Emil This is a pretty big change from the EU. If anything, it's still way too timid (we need hundreds of new big units in Europe, not merely 30), but this is already a watershed moment compared to just a few years ago when nuclear was the black sheep in Brussels.
