Creating high-quality data resources to inform critical decisions on emerging technology issues. A project of @CSETGeorgetown

Joined September 2022
Check out the new brief led by @CSETGeorgetown's @athinnyun with data collected by ETO students! Top finding: nearly half of America's award-winning scientists were foreign-born, and most of them first came to the U.S. as students.
Most of the world's top scientists don't move to the United States after they become famous. They move before – as students. A new @CSETGeorgetown brief I led traces the journeys of 550 top STEM awardees. 🧵(1/8)

How much do Canada's Tri-Agencies (CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC) shape global research & innovation? A lot. 334K+ funded papers, 48K patent families citing that work, and over half of all global research clusters touched.
