Long-term ecological research should be treated as a collective obligation — not simply a discretionary pursuit of scientific excellence. Morandini & Soutullo (2026) call scientists to move beyond a passive legitimising role toward a more anticipatory role in planetary governance 🧵3/3

Is Antarctic science really politically neutral? The publication in @peopleandnature.bsky.social suggests that what gets studied —and where, and by whom — is also shaped by funding structures, station locations, and national priorities —Even if science is often presented as purely objective. 🧵2/3
