The brain drain hits my family.

I had dinner last night with my youngest son-- who holds a doctorate--and his partner who is a tenured associate professor at UNC Chapel Hill. My son had been on the phone with one of his cousins recently. The cousin ( who is my nephew and youngest son of my very Republican brother and wife) is a Johns Hopkins PhD, associate professor at a major, well known public University in a Midwestern state. His wife is a Caltech PhD who works in research. My nephew has been recruited to a university in the UK, and his wife already been found a research position with room for her to advance. They have a 3 year old daughter and will be relocated to the UK before the end of the year.
I am so pleased they are getting out.
