Statement in Support of Professor Yulia Sineokaya

by RASA · Published Jan 28, 2025 · Updated Jan 28, 2025

We express our unconditional support for Professor Yulia Sineokaya, a member of our association, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Philosophy, and Director of the Independent Institute of Philosophy, which was recently designated an “undesirable organization” in the Russian Federation.

The work of Yulia Sineokaya and her colleagues makes a significant contribution to preserving Russian philosophical thought and humanism in a global context. Their activities are rooted in the principles of free inquiry and intellectual integrity, which are fundamental to any academic tradition.

We stand in solidarity with Yulia Sineokaya and her colleagues in their commitment to advancing knowledge and fostering dialogue, even under challenging circumstances. We are confident that their efforts will continue to inspire and resonate both within Russia and beyond its borders.

The Board of Directors
Russian-American Science Association

An elegant new concept may be about to revolutionize the technology of particle acceleration, which animates huge atom smashers and x-ray sources. For decades, some physicists have strived to develop an accelerator powered by laser light that would be much smaller and cheaper than existing machines. Recent progress suggests laser plasma accelerators (LPAs) may soon realize that bright promise.

 In the dead of the Russian winter, many of the nation’s physicists are feeling a particular chill. Banished since late last year from Europe’s CERN, the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, and increasingly isolated by trade sanctions that have complicated purchases of scientific equipment, many Russian physicists are having to dramatically reorient their work—with some looking to China for collaboration.
