Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has left many international students and postdocs uncertain about their future. Caught on vacation or between jobs, they are unable to travel to their labs because of closed borders, canceled flights, and shuttered consular offices. And as restrictions continue, the fate of these trainees, their labs, and their departments are up in the air. The pandemic adds to concerns by US scientists that the country is no longer seen as a welcoming place for international researchers (see page 34). When he left Canada for India in February, Varoon Singh thought he was just heading home for a brief visit before starting a postdoctoral position at Ghent University in Belgium. Singh had just finished a postdoc at the University of Waterloo. He’d struggled in Canada to get a medical checkup required by Belgium, so he thought he would visit family in India and get his visa straightened out
