Globally, academic freedom is facing a downturn, particularly in the US, as noted in the 2026 update of the Academic Freedom Index. The report indicates that over the past ten years, academic freedom has diminished in 50 nations, with only nine showing signs of enhancement. ‘Liberal democracies are experiencing a concerning downward trend, which is […]

Alison Wendlandt is a chemist whose research merges two cutting-edge domains of chemical reactions: stereochemical modification and contra-thermodynamic processes. Her studies involve manipulating molecular stereochemistry, primarily through reactions that alter the chirality of chiral centers, resulting in products with higher energy levels compared to their more stable counterparts. Wendlandt characterizes her work as a complementary […]
