Why I am participating

"We all bear responsibility for protecting freedom and democracy—for ourselves and for future generations. In my view, science is essential to the functioning of a democratic society: it asks open questions, creates new knowledge, and provides the basis for fact-based discussions and informed decisions. With “Science for Democracy,” we are highlighting the role of science and strengthening its reputation as an indispensable pillar of a free, enlightened society.
