There is almost sort of a realignment going on in the sciences. I'll be going to end up with two sciences, Russia aligned in autocratic and Western aligned and democratic. It will probably take time for those sorts of collaborations to flourish if they do. We certainly anticipate that there will be some kind of divide in global science. But what is interesting to see is whether this chasm, which is affecting science because it comes from a geopolitical action,. Whether that will deepen with this war?
The ongoing war in Ukraine has devastated the global economy, rocked geopolitics, killed thousands of people and displaced millions. Science too has been affected and the impacts on research are being felt more widely than just in Ukraine and Russia.
In this episode of Nature's Takes we discuss the war's impact on publishing, international collaborations, climate change and energy, and the destructive impacts on scientists themselves. And as the war continues, we consider the future of science in the face of a new political climate.
