Irrespective of election results, the next UK government needs to make sure that UK universities and research institutes are able to attract the best global science talents. Wellcome appreciates the study by The Royal Society on "tax on talent" theguardian.com/education/arti…

We look forward to working with Keir Starmer and the incoming government to strengthen the UK science ecosystem in the coming years.
