Independent reporting and analysis on science and power
Overview
The Science Diplomat is a digital media platform that reports on the intersection of science, technology, and international affairs, with a focus on how scientific knowledge is absorbed into diplomacy, security, and global governance.
It examines the institutions and decisions that translate evidence and expertise into policy and practice, emphasizing documentation, precision, and long-term consequences rather than commentary or advocacy.
The publication aims to make visible how science already functions as a diplomatic force, often informally, sometimes imperfectly, and to trace the consequences of those choices as they accumulate over time.
The Science Diplomat is a publication of Arete News, drawing on its reporting tradition while focusing on the intersection of science, diplomacy, and global governance.
