Podcasts about brain drain

What if you only had 4000 Sundays in your lifetime? And what if the way you work today is quietly stealing them away? In this conversation, Dr Kristy Goodwin takes us inside her own life-altering wake-up call — a moment in a Code Red hospital ward that forced her to confront burnout, mortality, and the “success tax” so many high performers pay. Kristy shares why our bodies keep score, how to stop crawling to Friday and start arriving at Sunday fully alive, and why protecting your focus, energy, and relationships is non-negotiable if you want to lead into the future. This is not just about wellbeing, it’s about the kind of leaders we choose to become — human-first, sustainable, and fiercely intentional.

The resignations of senior leaders at the CDC is a calamity. People with decades of expertise in infectious disease are leaving the agency because the new director—who Trump just appointed—refused to get on board with RFK's anti-vax crusade, including limiting access to Covid boosters. And Wednesday's violence in Minneapolis may be a sign that the FBI should be keeping its eye on the threats from domestic terror instead of arresting day laborers at Home Depot. Meanwhile, Trump's threat to the Fed's independence could pose a real risk to the stability of the U.S. Plus, more on the shifting attitudes about Israel among Dems, the latest attack on Kyiv is another reminder of how much Putin is mocking Trump, and remembering Katrina 20 years later.

For the first time in decades, the U.S. is facing a brain drain of the nation's top researchers and scientists. Ross Anderson, staff writer at The Atlantic, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how Trump administration funding cuts, ideological stances and immigration crackdowns are opening up opportunities for foreign countries to offer well-equipped labs and academic havens for top researchers – and what that means for the future of science in the U.S. His article is “Every Scientific Empire Comes to an End.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

“A win for AXL is that, ten years from now, instead of nine of the top ten biggest and most successful companies in the world being on the West Coast of the United States, half of them are in Toronto.” Dr. Daniel Wigdor has a lofty goal: help launch 50 AI companies in the next five years *and* keep them in Canada. Is it enough to stop our country's AI brain drain? The entrepreneur, computer science professor, and former Meta and Microsoft employee joins to discuss his new venture studio AXL, and why Canada is so bad at commercializing its innovations.

Send us a textIn this episode, the boys present another of their popular Dynamite Conspiracies episodes, where they discuss whether the USA isn't being an ally, but is instead looking to destroy the EU. Is this true? Or just a conspiracy?Conspiracy theory: The US is trying to onshore European industry and wealth because they see that Europe is a doomed society.Surprisingly, there's more evidence supporting this theory than I expected.The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)It offers massive subsidies for companies that relocate to the U.S.Deindustrialisation via Energy SabotageThe sabotage of Nord Stream cut off Europe's access to cheap Russian gas. That devastated German manufacturing competitiveness.War in Ukraine as a European Wealth DrainThe U.S. sends military aid (paid in IOUs and manufactured gear), while Europe bleeds its industrial base, drains its budgets, and absorbs millions of refugees.Brain Drain and Capital FlightYoung, talented Europeans are migrating to the U.S. (and not just for sunshine).America's Narrative ControlU.S. media and think tanks push narratives that Europe is irrelevant or weak.In a joint press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on February 7, 2022, Biden declared that if Russia invaded Ukraine, "there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it". - Is this an admission of US guilt?The comparison between the Marshall Plan and China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is complex, with significant differences in scale, financing, and intent. The Marshall Plan, which provided over $13 billion in aid (equivalent to over $150 billion today) to rebuild Western Europe after World War II, was primarily funded through grants and loans with a focus on economic recovery and political stability. The BRI is a vast infrastructure project funded largely through loans and foreign direct investment, with a focus on connectivity across Asia, Africa, and Europe.Estimates suggest China has invested more than $210 billion in BRI projects, with Chinese firms securing over $340 billion in construction contracts.Some analysts have noted that the scale of the BRI is significantly larger than the Marshall Plan, with one comparison suggesting the BRI was "one-twelfth the size of what is being contemplated in the One Belt, One Road initiative" relative to the Marshall Plan.But what are your thoughts on this topic?Do you agree with Tony and Tayo on this?Or do you have other thoughts?Links used during the show:-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nord_Stream_pipelines_sabotage-https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-018-0077-9Tune in and listen to the discussion.

Italy's repatriation tax regime was created in response to the long-standing issue of brain drain, aiming to foster a “brain return” by encouraging Italian citizens and dual citizens living abroad to bring their “human capital” back to Italy. With tax reductions of up to 50%—and even more for specific professional categories—this incentive is designed to support those who choose to live and work in Italy after years abroad. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we'll learn more about the tax benefits available to returning Italian citizens and how they compare to other regimes like the forfettario or the flat tax for retirees.For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team of dual-citizenship experts and attorneys you can use the contact form on the Italian Citizenship Assistance website:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/To see more from Rafael Di Furia about life in Italy and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#italiancitizenship #italiandualcitizenship #dualcitizenshipTopics & Timestamps:0:00 – Intro & Opening Thoughts0:39 - Italy's repatriation tax scheme5:12 - Other tax schemes available6:24 - Options for retirees 7:05 - How to move to Italy9:01 - Closing Thoughts & Outro

Albanien zählte über Jahrzehnte zu den isoliertesten Ländern der Welt. Doch diese Zeiten sind längst vorbei. Das Balkanland präsentiert sich weltoffen wie nie zuvor. Mit seiner Riviera und den albanischen Alpen lockt es nicht nur Reisende, sondern der Tourismus schafft vor allem auch neue Arbeitsplätze. Doch das reicht nicht aus, um Abwanderung zu verhindern.Albanien ist nicht mal so groß wie Brandenburg. Aktuell leben dort rund 2,4 Millionen Menschen. Anja Quiring, Albanien-Expertin beim Ost-Ausschuss der deutschen Wirtschaft, spricht im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit" von einem Bevölkerungsverlust von 14 Prozent innerhalb von 12 Jahren. "Die Zahlen sind dramatisch", sagt Quiring.Pflegekräfte etwa werden in Albanien direkt für den deutschen Markt ausgebildet. Was uns im Kampf gegen den Fachkräftemangel hilft, stellt das Land selbst jedoch vor Probleme. Denn auch dort braucht man Pflegekräfte - gerade auch, weil viele Albaner, die lange im Ausland gearbeitet haben, nun ihren Lebensabend im Heimatland verbringen möchten, beobachtet Anja Quiring.Wie schwer trifft der Brain-Drain, also die Abwanderung von gut ausgebildeten Arbeitskräften, das Land? Und womit ist in Zukunft zu rechnen? Der Unternehmensberater Stefan Wings versucht, ausländische Investitionen nach Albanien zu ziehen, damit Arbeitsplätze vor Ort geschaffen werden. "Wenn gute Arbeitgeber dort bereit sind, ein mittleres Gehalt zu bezahlen", dann ist das für Wings - angesichts der hohen Lebenshaltungskosten in Deutschland - ein gutes Argument für Albanien.Wo entstehen neue Chancen? Wie weit ist Albanien auf dem Weg in die Europäische Union? Und wie steht das Land eigentlich zu Russland? Diese und viele weitere Fragen diskutiert Host Andrea Sellmann mit Anja Quiring und Stefan Wings in der neuen Podcast-Folge.Anja Quiring hat Albanien als Regionaldirektorin Südosteuropa beim Ost-Ausschuss der deutschen Wirtschaft genau im Blick. Stefan Wings ist Repräsentant für Albanien und Kosovo beim Bundesverband mittelständische Wirtschaft, Unternehmerverband Deutschlands e. V. (BVMW). In seinem Büro in Tirana ebnet er deutschen Mittelständlern den Weg nach Albanien und vernetzt Unternehmen beider Länder miteinander.Bei dieser Folge handelt es sich um einen Re-Upload.

RTO mandates lead to higher employee turnover, particularly among women and skilled workers, with a 14% increase in turnover at major firms. That's the key take-away message of this episode of the Wise Decision Maker Show, which discusses how RTO mandates catalyze brain drain in top firms.This article forms the basis for this episode: https://disasteravoidanceexperts.com/rto-mandates-catalyze-brain-drain-in-top-firms/

Nationally known business leaders and those in the state take part in a summit to address moving the Magnolia State's economy forward, which also means combating "Brain Drain."Then, we talk with a photographer who is the first to win a new category in a prestigious national award. He captured the devastation and rebuilding in Rolling Fork after an EF-4 Tornado decimated the community.Plus, a grocery store owner in Alabama braces for cuts to SNAP benefits he says will hurt small independent grocers. More about that ahead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mississippi Today editor-in-chief Adam Ganucheau sits down with Jake McGraw, a policy analyst and researcher who runs Working Together Mississippi's Rethink Mississippi initiative, to discuss the state's brain drain crisis. Together with the University of Mississippi Center for Population Studies, the organizations launched the state's first-ever scientific survey to better understand the brain drain problem and develop solutions. Ganucheau and McGraw discuss what the data shows about the problem, the economic and political implications of it, and what more could be done to solve it.

Broadcast on KSQD, Santa Cruz on 7-24-2025: An emailer from Israel asks about mouth taping for sleep benefits, prompting Dr. Dawn to review a comprehensive study examining social media claims. She discusses the limited evidence base for most purported benefits like better sleep, oral health, and reduced snoring. The research reveals only mild sleep apnea showed meaningful improvement, while most other claims lack scientific support despite widespread promotion on social media platforms. Dr. Dawn reports on American scientists fleeing to France due to research funding cuts and political pressures. She describes how 300 American researchers have applied to just one French university, citing eliminated grants and demands to justify their basic science work. The brain drain parallels Europe's post-WWII exodus to America, but now affects climate research, gender studies, biology, and even NASA astrophysics programs. She introduces Salsalate, an aspirin-related drug from 1876 being reconsidered for diabetes treatment. Dr. Dawn explains how this salicylate works through anti-inflammatory pathways to reduce insulin resistance. Recent trials show promising results for glucose control and metabolic improvements, potentially offering an older, affordable alternative to newer diabetes medications. Dr. Dawn describes breakthrough surgical robot technology that successfully removed organs without human guidance. The system uses dual AI components for vision and instrument control that communicate with each other to correct mistakes. She notes the progression toward live animal testing as the next development phase. She explores revolutionary nanobots based on tiny algae cells that can navigate the human body for targeted drug delivery. These microscopic robots use flagella for movement and can be guided by magnets and ultrasound to reach specific organs like kidneys. The technology offers potential for precise chemotherapy delivery while avoiding healthy tissues. An emailer questions gabapentin's connection to cognitive decline after being prescribed the medication for sleep. Dr. Dawn challenges the study's methodology, noting that early dementia symptoms include insomnia, which leads to sleep medication prescriptions. She argues the correlation may reflect pre-existing cognitive decline rather than drug-induced impairment. Dr. Dawn presents alternatives to knee replacement surgery for patients hesitant about major procedures. She details innovative nerve ablation techniques that rewire pain signals by connecting sensory nerves to motor nerves, potentially providing permanent relief. Additional options include radio frequency ablation and blood vessel embolization to reduce inflammation-related pain. She highlights Alice Walton's new medical school in Arkansas focusing on preventative medicine and whole-person care. The curriculum emphasizes lifestyle factors, community service, and includes art training to develop empathy and observation skills. Dr. Dawn praises this approach as addressing the gap between medical education's biological focus and the behavioral causes of premature death.

Brain Drain Episode 58 with Toby Batchelor & Forde Brookfield

The Trump administration is attacking American academic institutions on multiple fronts, including cutting grant funding and targeting foreign exchange programs. That gives other countries a chance to surpass the U.S. in scientific discovery.

More accusations are being slung across the House, with the Greens indicating it's the Government that's forcing people across the ditch. At today's Question Time, Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick asked the Prime Minister about the conditions making young Kiwis head to Australia. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says there's a number of factors behind the brain drain - and that many skilled workers are making their way into New Zealand.

In der neuen Ausgabe der Speakeasy-Bar beantworten wir wieder viele Publikumsfragen. Zunächst aber sprechen wir über die nun schrittweise eingeleitete Wiedereinführung der Wehrpflicht, der sich nun auch die Jusos nicht mehr in den Weg stellen. Anschließend geht es um die Content-Creator-Plattform OF, die der Gründer aktuell plant zu verkaufen: Angeblich soll der Kaufpreis bei 8 Milliarden Dollar liegen. Sieht man sich die Abonnentenzahlen an, ist OF tatsächlich erfolgreicher als Disneyplus und sogar Netflix. Danach beantworten wir Fragen – etwa zur schwedischen Sozialdemokratie, die einst den Weg in den Sozialismus plante. Wir reden über Angestellte als Kostenfaktoren und Gewinnbringer sowie das Selfpublishing von Büchern. Gefragt werden wir auch nach dem Braindrain und ob es Flüchtlinge in ihrem Herkunftsland nicht eigentlich besser hätten. Außerdem sprechen wir über unsere liebsten Literaturverfilmungen und das Ende des Schlagers. Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Ausgabe der Speakeasy-Bar!

This week on The Ben and Jamesa Podcast, we're talking about what happens when some of America's brightest minds decide they've had enough—and leave. We're exploring the growing wave of academics and thinkers moving abroad, why it's happening, and what it says about connection, control, and culture.We also share a few updates from our lives in Portugal, a new mushroom fact, and our recent brushes with stardom—from thoughtful conversations to unexpected spotlights.Let's get into it.Support the show

Many developed countries are creating immigration policies designed specifically to attract the most talented migrants. We often assume that when those skilled and educated citizens migrate from low-income countries in search of high-paying opportunities, it causes a “brain drain” in their home countries, delaying or hobbling development. A new article in the journal Science puts that assumption to the test and finds that there is also the possibility of a brain gain at home, as investments in education, remittances, and the contribution of the diaspora to investment and changing norms can more the compensate for the loss of skills.  Cátia Batista of Nova School of Business and Economics and Caroline Theoharides of Amherst College are two of the authors of the article, and they tell Tim Phillips about what the potential for brain gains, but also the policies that are needed to make sure this happens.

Today on your Daily Detroit, a conversation about what happens when a state starts pushing back on one of its greatest challenges? After decades of decline, Michigan is seeing some positive population growth — particularly among young adults. My guest is Hillary Doe, Chief Growth Officer for the state of Michigan. Now, "Chief Growth Officer" might sound like pure bureaucratic jargon, but in this case, it represents a real shift.  It's a story of targeted investments, a focus on community building, and an understanding that attracting people is about creating a place where people want to be. It's also a check in from a year ago, when we last talked to Hilary about the progress and the work to do. How do you reverse a brain drain? What does it take to make a state a place people choose? And can a state really change its narrative? There's still a lot of work to do, but it looks like Michigan and Detroit is starting to make some progress.

Migration policies shape not only the economies of countries but also their politics. In this episode, we dive deep into how letting people leave—or restricting their exit—can have surprising ripple effects on collective action and political reform in their home countries. Yale political scientist Emily Sellars reveals why migration might weaken the power of ordinary people to organize and push for change—and why even those who leave might ultimately lose out. Could closing borders paradoxically strengthen democracy abroad? We unpack a provocative new model that challenges our assumptions about emigration and its role in global politics. Papers discussed:“Emigration And Collective Action”: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/704697?journalCode=jop

In this insightful and highly practical conversation, Jeannette Linfoot welcomes back Chris Wilkins, an esteemed accountant and tax expert from Wilkins Southworth. Chris delves into his fascinating journey into the world of tax, from childhood inspiration to navigating complex international finance deals. The episode explores the significant "brain drain" of high-net-worth individuals from the UK due to recent tax policy changes, discussing the economic repercussions and the critical need for up-to-date tax advice. Chris provides invaluable guidance for various financial situations: from tax-efficient strategies for startup entrepreneurs (including VAT and partnership structures) to optimizing tax for multiple business owners. He unpacks the evolving landscape of property investing in the UK, detailing the impact of Section 24 and changes affecting furnished holiday lets. A crucial segment addresses the tax implications for unmarried couples versus married couples, particularly concerning capital gains and inheritance tax, and the often-overlooked necessity of updating wills upon marriage. Finally, Chris offers vital advice for those nearing retirement, highlighting recent pension and business inheritance tax changes that could dramatically affect legacy planning. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand and optimize their financial position in a constantly shifting tax environment. Top Takeaways Accountancy is a dynamic field, not just "men in grey suits." Staying current with tax legislation is crucial for effective advice. The UK is experiencing a "brain drain" of high-net-worth individuals. Changes to domicile rules are driving an exodus of taxpayers. Losing high earners impacts social services and the average person. The Laffer Curve illustrates optimal tax rates for revenue. Startup entrepreneurs can use VAT thresholds for competitive pricing. Partnerships can optimize income tax by splitting profits. Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) offer protection and tax benefits. Tax planning must align with legal entity structure. HMRC scrutinizes property incorporation schemes. Section 24 (Tenant Tax) significantly impacts buy-to-let landlords. Furnished Holiday Lettings tax rules have become less generous. Unmarried couples face distinct capital gains and inheritance tax challenges. Marriage invalidates previous wills in the UK. Pension inheritance tax rules have changed, impacting legacy planning. Proactive tax planning is essential to avoid detrimental surprises. "To know and not to do is to not know." "People who fail to plan, plan to fail." Sound Bites "Life started from a tax point of view when my mum... went to see her accountant." "The image of accountancy is that it's like men in grey suits and... it's quite boring but it's not at all." "You gotta keep on reading about tax and learning about it." "There seems to be a bit of an exodus from the UK right now." "If the 1% the top 1% go, who's gonna pay the tax?" "You just gotta kind of block out the noise and just keep your eyes focused on whatever it is that you want." "I'm going in there to collect as much as I possibly can." "It's a very YouTube idea, I love it." "Recovery is very important in our sport." "Come as you are, leave as more." "Your struggles are not your limitations." "Bravery is speaking truth to power." "Don't just climb the ladder, create an elevator." "Embracing failure is a powerful gift." "Your will wouldn't have said I leave X to my spouse, 'cause you weren't married before. But now you are." "To know and not to do is to not know." "People who fail to plan, plan to fail."

Ben and guest co-host Ali Velshi kick off the show with a conversation about how Trump's policies are accelerating US brain drain, Tulsi Gabbard's Fox News-style overhaul of the Presidential Daily Brief, and the eyebrow-raising new press secretary at the Pentagon. They also talk about Ukraine's massive surprise drone strike on Russia and the stalemate between Putin and Zelensky. Additionally, they cover the horrific attack on Jewish demonstrators in Colorado, Israel and America's disastrous aid distribution operation in Gaza, the expansion of settlements in the West Bank, and the future of the two-state solution. Also discussed: China's advantages in the trade war, how trade wars can become real wars, and far-right politics in Poland, Portugal, and the Netherlands. Finally, Ali takes a step back to talk about being a journalist covering Trump 2.0. Ali's show Velshi airs weekends on MSNBC, and his book is Small Acts of Courage: A Legacy of Endurance and the Fight for Democracy. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Tech editor Sharon Wrobel and archaeology reporter Rossella Tercatin join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. The setting of a 17% tariff on Israel by the US appears to be paused for the moment, as Wrobel discusses. Israel thought it could receive a reduction on the tariff, the main worry is the indirect impact and talk of a recession in Israel's tiny market and the instability and uncertainty that could cause. There are ongoing negotiations with efforts to protect Israeli companies and concerns over exposure to machinations in global markets and the value of Israeli savings. Over 8,000 tech employees have left Israel in recent months and Israel was downgraded in the global ranking of top 50 wealthiest cities as millionaires and tech workers relocated, following first the judicial overhaul and then the ongoing war and hostage situation. Wrobel discusses the biggest concern in that shift, given the high-tech sector's payment of taxes, and its effect on the state and the Israeli economy. Tercatin discusses research at the Academy of the Hebrew Language, looking at how Hebrew accents developed across different communities and millennia, and the role of cultural heritage in preserving those language differences. She also talks about a Sicilian farmer who is part of a centuries-old ritual to harvest a sweet, white sap from the bark of ash trees, a syrup known as manna. Tercatin describes the process and the substance, following an interview with the 75-year-old Sicilian farmer on the eve of the holiday of Passover, when Jews across the world commemorate the Exodus from Egypt, and when they ate manna in the desert.
