Panel discussion *Are scientists responsible for war and global warming?* at malobeo (Kamenzer Str. 38, 01099 Dresden) on May 10 from 6 to 8 pm.

Should scientists refuse to work on some topics?
Are we wasting time or resources in basic research?
Should we accept funding from industry and the military?

Join us in this panel discussion to share your perspective on these questions and more. We will discuss how the technologies we, scientists, develop can both help and harm humanity and the planet, and what kind of control we can have over our discoveries.
All scientific staff welcome!
