    I was looking for positive things that have been accomplished in the sciences when people from across the world come together.

      Sorry yes, I was just trying to shorthand. I meant the collective corrective effort to address these issues.

      These are pretty much the prime examples where the entire world came together for once and solved some major issue, thanks to science. Like stopping the hole in the ozone layer last minute, with a coordinated major effort from the entire world.

      If you mean, where scientists from all over the world work together… I think that’s pretty much all science. Go to any university, institute… And you’ll find people from all over the world working together. That’s the case in almost all disciplines. And they’ll publish papers, so the next team (maybe from a different part of the world) can build upon that. And they’ll occasionally gather at conferences and people will come from all around the globe. That’s the default.
