Prominent Chinese-origin scientists working around the globe are returning to their homeland, raising concerns about potential brain drain in the U.S. and Europe. Earlier this year, renowned geometer Sun Song returned to China after over a decade of work in the U.S. He previously served as a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, but now works at the Institute of Advanced Studies at Zhejiang University.
