General discussions about "science" itself

From the link:
Since its founding in 1954, high-energy physics laboratory CERN has been a flagship for international scientific collaboration. That commitment has been under strain since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. CERN decided to cut ties with Moscow late last year over deaths resulting from the country's "unlawful use of force" in the ongoing conflict.
I love how everyone providing the answer to that person and OP are being downvoted. What is going on in here
What a shame for those scientists. I hope they are able to leave Russia and continue collaborating internationally on their work. Maybe they can even come back to CERN if the establish residency in another country
Why now?
With the existing international cooperation agreements now lapsing, the Geneva-based organization is expected to expel hundreds of scientists on November 30 affiliated with Russian institutions, Nature reports.
I combed that article and couldn't find a reason, I'm with you. I think it's due to Ukraine, but it's not confirmed.
The contract ends November 30th and Cern isn't renewing with the Russians. You pasted the answer in the post description.
Yes, but why?
Because no one should sign new agreements with terrorist states?
Well, that's the USA, the UK, Israel, and probably quite a few others out of CERN then.
Terrorizing non-whites doesn't count. Only terrorism against white people does.

Because most of the world has sanctioned Russia. It's literally in the article.
World events do matter in the science community.
The summary explains it. Did you not read it?
