Russia may well drop out of the International Space Station, but this stage is unclear. Ukraine and Russia are both massive exporters of much of the world's food. What are researchers saying about food security? Well, they're as worried as you would imagine. And Antonio Kuterres, Secretary General of the United Nations, he said back in April that the war could throw as much as one-fifth of humanity into poverty and hunger on a scale not seen in decades.
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.
