Today magazine The Scientist publishes an authorative article by science writer Dr. Abby Olena who discusses these recent developments with scientists from a wide range of backgrounds. Dr. Steven Spoel provides his perspective on international collaboration with examples of how it has benefited his training and research.

The Scientist's article follows on the heels of a recent International Mobility study by The Royal Society, highlighting the importance of international mobility for education, training and exchange of knowledge.
