Laika und Freunde is an online science magazine. It focuses on discoveries and their significance, as well as the paths to discovery. The name is reminiscent of animals that humans sacrifice for their own purposes. In 1957, Laika became the first animal to orbit the Earth. She died during the flight and subsequently became an unwitting heroine in stories of progress and discovery: Cold War propaganda.
Science shapes society and is shaped by it. It is an important part of the modern world. Understanding scientific research and asking important questions about it are key to thriving societies and thriving research. Laika und Freunde was founded with this in mind.
