Have you heard? The UK Young Academy podcast is here... and the first episode drops tomorrow. Co-hosts Wenmiao Yu and Alistair McConnell created our new UK Young Academy podcast to explore the real stories behind our community and dive deeper into the motivations, challenges, and what truly drives our members—something that a short bio can't always capture. Read their latest blog to discover the full season line-up and what to expect from season 1: ukyoungacademy.org/podcast/welcom… Available on Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and Apple Podcasts.

On Friday, @royalsociety released their new report Science Diplomacy in an era of disruption, updating the landmark 2009 framework to address the challenges of a rapidly changing world. The report underscores the growing need for science diplomacy, particularly in a time of technological advancements, shifting global power, and evolving diplomatic dynamics. 📢 In light of this new report, UK Young Academy Executive Representative and Project Lead for our Science and Technology Diplomacy project, Sandeep Sandhu, shares why this report is so crucial for navigating the complex challenges of our time: “In an era of global challenges, science diplomacy is more crucial than ever in fostering international collaboration, informed policymaking, and innovation-driven solutions. This report underscores the vital role of scientific engagement in building bridges across borders for a more resilient and interconnected world." 🔗 Read the full report here: royalsociety.org/about-us/what-… #ScienceDiplomacy #Innovation #Collaboration #GlobalChallenges
