The September 2012
edition of IEEE's
Spectrum magazine has an interesting chart on the last page that
shows the percentage of researchers that immigrate/emigrate to/from 16 different countries
versus how many emigrate from the them. The chart bars represent percentages, not absolute
numbers. Switzerland has the highest number of researchers immigrating to it
(~60%) while about 35% emigrate from it. We don't know
whether any of those immigrants stayed a while and then joined the emigrants ranks. India
has the greatest number of researcher emigrants leaving (~40%)
while immigrants relocating to India are almost immeasurable. China is not included because
access to researchers there was too restricted (gotta love
those Communist regimes).Posted

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
