It was a recorded online event, that took place online on July 1, 2021, at 4 pm CEST.</p> <p>In 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic that forced us to restrain or limit our social and cultural activities, we thought to offer a lively cultural happening to strengthen our interactions and to ponder on some remarkable issues that affect our lives as scientists and citizens in a globalized world.</p> <p>Examples that came up to our minds were quite some. Just to mention a few: the protection of intellectual property and the worldwide distribution of life-saving drugs (e.g. the anti-Covid vaccines) at very low costs; the relationship between science and politics, i.e. Black Lives Matter and the harsh debate between some international scientific journals and publishers; or the denial of freedom and democracy and even the lack of scientific dissemination in some countries, and so forth.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Substantia}, author={Lo Nostro, Pierandrea}, year={2021}, month={Sep.}, pages={5–6} }
