International researchers got a reprieve in the courts this week. But many are still considering leaving the states for opportunities elsewhere. What does that mean for the future of American medical research?

We discuss that, plus the latest news in the life sciences, on this week’s episode of “The Readout LOUD.”

STAT reporter Jonathan Wosen and Fanta Aw, the executive director of NAFSA: Association of International Educators, join the podcast to discuss a recent court decision around foreign visas for students. We also discuss the Definium’s psychedelics data and what it means for that field as a whole.
