Virtual Discussion: Science and Democracy
Do politics belong in the laboratory? Is science inevitably political or do politics hinder good research?
On February 8th at 5:30 pm, PPD will host an online Abbey Speaker Series event that brings together scientists from academia and publishing to discuss the interplay of science and politics.
The discussion includes the following contributors:

This discussion will be livestreamed via Zoom, and registration* is available here.
