January 14, 2026 | Rees Kassen, Academic Director for �鶹��ý��վ's new Sustainability Park and the director of TISPP. His article traces today’s tension around the post‑WWII “social contract” for publicly funded basic research (shaped by Vannevar Bush’s Science: The Endless Frontier). He argues the contract is straining as governments demand faster, more visible returns, even though long-run payoffs (like mRNA vaccines) show why basic research matters.

January 14, 2026 | Barbara Koremenos, the 23-24 McConnell Visiting Scholar at �鶹��ý��վ's Max Bell School of Public Policy, argues that international scientific collaboration can build trust and help solve global problems, even amid geopolitical rivalry. She focuses on stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) research that represents a new frontier akin to the Antarctic Treaty in its ability to foster international scientific collaboration.
