The inaugural issue, Natural Science in an Age of Planetary Change, brings together research and analytical materials on micro- and nanoplastics, geodynamics, natural hazards, climate processes, immunology, quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, and the state of the world’s oceans.
ATLANTA, Georgia, USA — August 17, 2026 - <a href="https://allatra.org/global-research-center"> ALLATRA Global Research Center (ALLATRA GRC)</a> presents the inaugural issue of <a href="https://allatra.org/global-research-center/journal">ALLATRA Natural Science Review</a>, a new quarterly interdisciplinary publication created to provide systematic coverage of advances in the natural sciences and their significance for public health, climate security, and public policy.
The 97-page publication features scientific and analytical articles, expert reviews, and interviews covering topics from micro- and nanoplastics in the human body to earthquake mechanisms, ocean heat, immune function, and the growing role of neural networks in research.
SCIENCE AS A FOUNDATION FOR UNDERSTANDING ONGOING CHANGE
ALLATRA Natural Science Review was created in response to the growing gap between the pace of scientific advancement and its presence in public and institutional discourse. Findings directly relevant to public health, hazard preparedness, and environmental policy often remain within specialized academic circles and rarely reach those who make decisions.
The Review aims to narrow that gap: to place complex findings in a clear and accurate context without oversimplifying them. It is addressed to researchers, physicians, educators, institutions, decision-makers, and an informed general audience.
As Editor-in-Chief John Ahn, Ph.D., MBA, notes, the editorial goal is to make complex science accessible while preserving its depth, and to leave room for scientific discussion that stays evidence-based.
EDITORIAL BOARD
The Editor-in-Chief of ALLATRA Natural Science Review is John Ahn, Ph.D., MBA, Chief Scientist and Chair of ALLATRA Global Research Center. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Technical University of Munich, an M.S. from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MBA from INSEAD. His work applies quantitative methods and computational analysis to geodynamics, seismicity, and natural hazards.
The journal’s Scientific Editor is Anastasiya Pashigreva, Ph.D., a chemist and interdisciplinary researcher specializing in sustainable technologies, environmental systems, and climate processes. She has worked at the University of Oxford, the Technical University of Munich, DuPont, and Bayer.
The Editorial Board also includes Karolína Hronová, MUDr., Ph.D., a clinical pharmacologist; Jan Kára, Ph.D., Senior Systems Architect and Linux kernel developer; Andrea Lešková, Ph.D., a specialist in landscape science and environmental planning; and Alexander Masny, MSc., a biochemist and
