[OC] The H-1B Visa Holders Joining America’s Top Research Instituions in FY 2025

Hi! I'm Alex, a data reporter at The Xylom, a nonprofit news outlet that does cross-border reporting on environmental health and democracy. Our exclusive analysis found that over 13,000 H-1B workers have joined 200+ land-grant, sea-grant, and R1 research institutions so far this fiscal year. I also found that public institutions in large, Republican states are disproportionately affected by Trump's $100,000 H1-B fee, if they wish to maintain their current level of hiring. Happy to send over a dataset to anyone who wants it. Please feel free to adapt and remix with attribution.
