The conversation shifts to the pressing issue of retaining global talent, with a focus on innovative policy proposals like attaching green cards to advanced degrees. Additionally, they critique how national security rhetoric may be used to undermine fundamental freedoms, drawing parallels with Scandinavian approaches to criminal justice.
