Nearly 300 scientists apply for French academic program amid Trump cuts in U.S.

Aix-Marseille University has received nearly 300 applications for its Safe Place For Science program as it responds to President Trump's funding cuts. The university accepts researchers from various backgrounds, including 135 Americans and 45 with dual nationality.
