Why didn’t the Russian-American Science Association (RASA) collapse in the spring of 2022? What is the significance of its growth now, when scientific ties with Russia have been severed? How does democracy function in the academic community, and what is the future of Russian science? The second interview in RASA’s historical project features Igor Efimov, a renowned Russian-speaking American scientist and biomedical researcher from Northwestern University in Chicago. |
We start this project by interviewing the outstanding American-Soviet physicist Roald Sagdeev, who was the director of the Institute for Space Research at the USSR Academy of Sciences during the late Soviet era. He has been living and working in the United States for over 30 years. Throughout these years, he has greatly contributed to fostering collaboration between American and Russian scientists. |
