Why Science Matters! What a great coincidence - this year's motto of the World Science Day fits perfectly with our #StorytellingSymposium: Present Your Knowledge. Make your knowledge visible so that it empowers our future. Love it! #ActingForBusiness #YourActOfChange #ScienceMatters

Science for Peace: A Global Commitment. It’s International Week of Science and Peace, a time to recognize the vital role of science in promoting peace, security, and sustainable development. Science has the power to transcend borders, unite cultures, and address global challenges. Did you know that many renowned scientists have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of peace and understanding? Figures like Albert Einstein and Marie Curie used their knowledge and influence to advocate for peace and social justice. As L&D professionals, we can contribute to a more peaceful and sustainable future by promoting scientific literacy and critical thinking. By equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills to solve complex problems, we can empower them to make informed decisions and contribute to a better world. Let's celebrate the International Week of Science and Peace by embracing the power of science to address global challenges and promote peace and understanding. Together, we can build a more just, equitable, and sustainable future. #InternationalWeekOfScienceAndPeace #ScienceForPeace #Sustainability #Innovation #LnD #ChetanTupe #CRTbyCRT

Certainly, science and scientists need an “open and safe ecosystem that encourages the free flow of ideas.” It’s easy to think about state interference and intervention, gender and racial discrimination, populism, and the erosion of democracy negatively affecting the freedom and safety of scientists. But there are less obvious dangers to freedom and safety. Since scientists often operate within the framework of academic institutions, research organizations, or government, their agency and autonomy are bounded. Because freedom is strategically connected to agency and autonomy, other factors than those mentioned above need to be checked. I’m specifically referring to the pernicious influence that market thinking and economicism have on science (i.e., on scientists and scientific practices): the devaluation and rejection of everything that does not have immediate market value or is closely connected to metrics like GDP. This negative influence can be found, for instance, in prioritizing studies that have immediate commercial applications over those with long-term societal benefits, or by skewing research agendas to deter exploration into areas that are less economically profitable but scientifically significant, or by introducing quality metrics that might be relevant for companies but needn’t be for science, etc. There’s a paradox. Due to perverse market incentives that steer scientists to secure funding and pursue marketable projects, scientists can achieve greater safety by diminishing their very own autonomy regarding choosing their research topics and having a say in shaping research agendas. This too needs to be addressed together with other more obvious threats.

In troubling times, what role is there for science to play? This weekend, we mark the World Science Day for Peace and Development, on 10 November. It's a time to reflect on the positive - and often understated - influence research can have on society. To mark the occasion last year, we compiled a list of projects advancing science's positive legacy: from improving conflict resolution to delivering on the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals. Give these projects and read - and let us reflect on how research, its results and findings, can contribute to creating the conditions for peace and in turn, allow for societies to flourish. #WorldScienceDay #PeaceDay
