This Special Collection:


In Science Magazine
In Science's SAGE KE
In Science's Next Wave

In this special Web collection, Science Magazine and its online companion sites explore the experience of immigrant scientists, both in the U.S. and in other countries. In Science, a special News section in the 28 May 2004 issue offers an assessment of the often spotty data on the role of foreign scientists in the U.S. workforce, as well as profiles that help limn the real experience of individual immigrant scientists working in the U.S. The Science of Aging Knowledge Environment looks at the experience of an Indian scientist who has forged a career in the U.S. studying cell aging. And Science's Next Wave, capping a month-long series on diversity, ethnicity, and culture in the scientific workforce, takes a broad look at scientific immigration -- not only the experience of foreign scientists in the U.S., but also the fortunes of immigrant scientists working in other countries.
