1/ Why would a scientist spend a lifetime studying processes that never end? In this InterDialogue excerpt, Japanese complex systems scientist Hiroki Sayama traces his career-long question, inspired by Carl Sagan's Cosmos: "what is that kind of process that never ends."

6/ In Brazil, he notes, the effects are already visible in fewer PhDs, fewer master’s theses, and fewer publications, and recovery will take time. He sees the pattern as a global phenomenon, affecting countries in both the Global South and the Global North.

5/ In a global market for talent, well-trained scientists who lack the conditions to do research can find a place elsewhere, benefiting that country instead of their own and often never returning. Funding cuts, political persecution, and visa problems only add to the pull.
