The outside back cover of 12Dec24 Nature is an advert For Florida State University.

The text reads:

MATERIALS MATTER [Humm that reminds one of something?]
FSU is pushing the boundaries [Perhaps not boundaries which should be pushed?]

At the bottom is the logo for:

National MAGLAB [Which I first truly misread as MAGALAB]

However, I realized my mistake, and as the rest of text made mention of superconductivity I concluded that “MAG” must refer to “Magnetic”.

Reading a Nature Briefing newsletter later, I came across the Brain Drain survey. Recalling the earlier MAGALAB advert, I was moved to make the post.

Thus the causal link: Q.E.D.
