Iryna Ilienko is a cell biologist who recently fled Ukraine. After arriving in Canada, she was hired by Future Fields, a biotechnology company in Edmonton.
As the war rages on, there is growing concern about the long-lasting effect the conflict will have on the global scientific community — and of the lost opportunities for discovery in the fields of academia, medicine and science in Ukraine. Up until the conflict, Ilienko had worked at a research centre in Kyiv for more than 20 years. She worried about losing her scientific career due to the war."I [was] afraid my science career could be stopped," she told CBC News.
Kehoe points to how academics were displaced by the Second World War, throughout the war in Syria and, now, during the conflict in Ukraine."The most common thing that happens is people have to flee so they leave their research behind, [but] they don't leave their ideas behind," she said. "They're taking their kids and their families if they can — they're not necessarily going to stop and move their labs.

You mean those who are in charge of the bio weapons labs through Hunter Biden and NATO who tested biological agents on the Ukrainian people?
