The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is to cut cooperation with 500 scientists affiliated with Russian institutions from November 30. Around 100 have joined non-Russian institutes in order to continue their physics research work with Europe’s particle-physics laboratory.

    I feel really bad for these scientists. The decision is perfectly reasonable, but being punished for something completely out of your control must suck.

      Not exactly “completely out of your control”, I’d say.

        I’m not sure they can really vote Putin out of power.

        And as for moving country, well I’m sure that’s easy for some, but those with family and commitments I can’t imagine it’s easy

          I’m not saying they have easy choices. Or good choices. But they do choose. We all do. I’d even say life is all about making small, imperfect choices.
