  • Nobel Laureate Prof. Aaron Ciechanover (2004, Chemistry) delivered a special address at the inaugural of ProUPS (Proteostasis & Ubiquitin Proteasome System) conference held at SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST).

The article from MSN, titled "Science Needs Democracy to Flourish: Prof. Aaron Ciechanover," discusses the critical relationship between scientific advancement and democratic governance. Nobel laureate Aaron Ciechanover emphasizes that democracy provides the necessary environment for science to thrive through freedom of thought, expression, and the exchange of ideas. He argues that in democratic societies, scientists can challenge existing knowledge, pursue innovative research, and collaborate globally without fear of censorship or persecution. Ciechanover highlights historical examples where authoritarian regimes suppressed scientific inquiry, contrasting these with periods of scientific enlightenment under democratic rule. He also touches on the importance of public trust in science, which is fostered by transparency and accountability, elements that are more prevalent in democratic systems. The piece concludes by underscoring that for science to continue advancing and solving global challenges, the democratic framework must be preserved and strengthened.
