Dear editors! I never tire of being amazed at the snobbery and selfishness of our scientists: for them, science is about writing a Hamiltonian or proving a theorem, but in order to do something applied, specifically useful, no, it’s not science at all. To put it bluntly: many of us turn our noses up in disgust at practically significant things, as if these are base things that a real scientist should not deal with.

While the main forces of the scientific community are engaged in a practical struggle for the survival of domestic science, I propose to look at the problem on a different scale and imagine what changes could allow it to achieve prosperity. It is unlikely that many would argue that the root of the problem lies in the financing of science. But it seems to me that the problem is not so much in volume as in the method of financing.

The moment of truth. Winners of the qualifying session are called and rewarded. The first on the left is Nikolai Vedenkin, those. Director, second - Vladimir Radchenko, deputy head of the project) Many young people in different countries today dream of becoming astronauts and developers of space aircraft. Confirmation of this - Cansat championships held in many countries of the world (USA, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, etc.).

A few days ago, the media reported that the Russian Orthodox Church calls for a complete ban on obtaining and using embryonic tissues and cells for scientific and medical purposes [1]. Corresponding materials can be found on the official website of the Russian Orthodox Church [2]. We asked scientists to comment on both the initiative itself and in general a situation in which religious organizations are trying to somehow influence the nature and methods of research.

What a shame that I talked about presuppositions last time! Here is just such a wonderful example. In some crime TV show, the plot is about a conflict that flared up between neighbors. The reason for the conflict: a certain lady terrorized the entire entrance by the fact that her scary dogs constantly walk without a muzzle. They show neighbors vying with each other to complain about the dog owner, and in response she yells something implausible.

Despite the fact that the first of April is still far away, the legal department of the Ministry of Education and Science jokes so much that even the jokes of the KVN team “Faculty of Journalism” fade against this background. After all, judging by the letter we received from the Ministry in response to one of our requests, the Presidential Decree does not apply to our University... since the latter was created by the Decree of Peter I.

In 1997 - 15 years ago - Vasily Vasilievich Nasymov, Doctor of Mathematical Sciences, the author of 30 books and more than 200 articles went to the best world. I was lucky to be a friend with him. In the 70-80s, I studied the possibilities of statistical methods to describe some speech and psychological structures. Nalimova occupied this problem (in 1979, his thoughts on the probabilistic structure of the language took shape in the form of a book), and he agreed to speak at my home seminar.

In recent years, we can observe an increase in activity, including political, students of Russian universities. This, on the one hand, pleases, on the other hand, causes anxiety. Students at all times took an active part in various forms of social life, including its most extreme manifestations, for example, in political terror and revolutions. The question arises: why, in some cases, universities become a “melting boiler” for revolutions, and in others nothing of the kind happens?

At the end of last year, the RFBR Council decided to cancel the competition for projects for the participation of Russian scientists in scientific events abroad (competition “z”). We are publishing an open letter from scientists in favor of canceling this decision, which is published on the website www.onlinepetition .ru/rfbrtravel/petition.html Here you can also leave your signature. By the time the issue went to press, the appeal had already been signed by 1,444 people.

At one time, there was a federal expert council on textbooks, which examined textbooks and gave the stamp “recommended for use in schools.” It did not work very well, and there were many appeals from citizens, right up to the Presidential Administration. In my alma mater, St. Petersburg State University, there is another round of history with the deputy. Dean of the Faculty of Journalism Sergei Samoletov, who still cannot be kicked out of his job, unlike deans Petrov and Shishkina.

Over a decade and a half in science, I somehow got used to the idea that science is done mainly in the institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and, little by little, in other organizations. However, the article by M. Gelfand and D. Livanov [1] claims that this is not the case. Either my ideas are wrong, or this is an apparent contradiction. It is possible that different scientific disciplines are showing different trends.

I missed the first rally on the garden ring and regretted it when I looked at the reports. Therefore, on February 19 he bought a white braid, tied her on the neck of his hefty dog, took a friend with the third, and we moved to Moscow. At first, everything went wrong: on the Yakimanka fell into an artificial cork for 40 minutes (a crazy traffic light). Having drove around the Kremlin, we found only a few dozen participants identified by white subjects.
