World's Scientists Offer Their Labs To Colleagues Stranded By Trump's Immigration Ban

While all of the major scientific and medical research societies have issued statements decrying President Trump's executive order prohibiting travelers to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries, the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) has gone a step further.

Late Wednesday, the 29-member state research entity launched their Science Solidarity webpage, a resource where US-based scientists stranded abroad could connect with laboratories in their discipline and locality to continue their work temporarily. The list acts as a clearinghouse where scientists can directly contact potential hosts, independent of EMBO administration.
