SCIENCE HAS A NEW FORMAT FOR YOUR INBOX…

;

The team behind Research Aether hopes you will follow us as we hand pick exciting projects and update you quarterly on the most pressing questions for the UK, European and global scientific communities.

At a time of global importance with the COP27 conference having loomed large in all of our news feeds, Aether hears from the chief scientific officers of two key UN bodies: Dr Ismahane Elouafi of the Food and Agriculture organization of the United Nations; and Dr Andrea Hinwood of the United Nations Environment Programme.

While Artemis continues on its space flight, a precursor perhaps to manned missions to Mars, we hear from scientists involved in trying to make a Mars space station a reality, along with research that provides insight into the very earliest origins of our moon.

Aether closes with an interview with the Director of CINEA, Dr Dirk Beckers, on the success of the EU’s LIFE programmes as it celebrates 30 years of helping to preserve and protect Europe’s most threatened habitats and species.

We hope that you will stay with us as more project teams share their work through the Aether. If, on the other hand, you would prefer not to hear from us, you can unsubscribe at any time.

Science needs to be seen and not just published.
