Tutkimusaiheiden leimaaminen ja vähättely uhkaa tieteen vapautta. Se on pilkkaajien tarkoituskin.
Akatemia rahoittaa kaikkia aloja ja aiheita, laatu ratkaisee. Suomella ei ole varaa antaa yhdenkään tutkijan epäröidä aihettaan häirinnän pelossa. Tieteen vapauden puolustaminen on kaikkien tehtävä.

"SpaceX just conducted a giant uncontrolled experiment in atmospheric chemistry. Earlier this year, analysts noticed Starlink satellites were falling out of the sky. What’s going on? In short: routine housecleaning. What’s not usual is the atmospheric fallout."

Kansainvälisen tutkijajoukon laatiman avoimen kirjeen mukaan ihmiskunta elää kriittistä hetkeä, minkä takia on ratkaisevan tärkeää tunnistaa ja kantaa vastuu kosmisesta jalanjäljestä.
www.utu.fi/fi/ajankohta...
Kosmisen jalanjäljen käsitteellä asiantuntijat tarkoittavat ihmisten toiminnan jopa peruuttamattomia vaikutuksia avaruuteen. Kansainvälinen tutkijajoukko haluaa tuoda ongelman osaksi sekä akateemista että laajempaa keskustelua.

In it, we:
1. Introduce the concept of Humanity’s Cosmic Footprint.
2. Emphasise the need to address ethical questions surrounding our expanding cosmic influence.
3. Propose establishing a registry to represent and track humanity’s cosmic footprint, providing a ground for informed discussions.

My new article, ”Long-term Future and Non-anthropocentric Value,” is now published! In it, I re-examine Gary O’Brien’s recent article on longtermism and animals, and I expand beyond animals to explore what considering broader environmental values could mean for the very long-term.

‘Adults are going hungrier to keep children better fed. The most vulnerable – infants, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and others needing special diets – are already starving.’
Alex de Waal on famine in Gaza, from the blog: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ma...
The re-entry of Kosmos 482 "draws attention to our planet's growing space junk problem. On average, three sizeable pieces of debris crash back to Earth every day — and that number is only going to go up.”
