It has undoubtedly harmed the image not just in Singapore, where I directly feel it has impacted our prospects.
Although Singapore has a relatively limited pool of scientists as compared to the U.K., it has maximized those people by bringing them together. It's a vibrant atmosphere and very enjoyable to work. I don't feel under any sort of pressure to move.
Singapore is gaining a lot of credibility as a good place to work. It has actually been easier for me to recruit researchers now than four years ago.

They are a big catch. They are prominent researchers, very successful in the U.S..
Can we make money from this? That remains to be seen.
