Episode 1
For our first episode, and the introduction to our series, we delve into contemporary history to explore two examples of science in times of crisis. We’ll be looking at the the Cold War period from 1950 to 1990 and the Apartheid era in South Africa with two expert guests, assessing how each crisis impacted the scientific community, as well as the role of science and scientific organisations during the both crises.
