New TWAS Plus issue is out - Vol. 4, No. 3

TOP STORY: What happens to scientists when a war engulfs their country? They leave home and workplace and flee to save their lives, with a future of uncertainty ahead and the dream of going back home one day. "Science in Exile", a new TWAS documentary directed by Italian filmmaker Nicole Leghissa, portrays the poignant experience of four researchers – two women and two men – from Syria, Yemen and Iraq. Through their stories, we see the scientific and human dimensions of wartime tragedy.
