First, to address the elephant in the room... yes, I am reusing a photo from a previous post. It's nerdy, it's possibly the best pun(?) that I've come up with, and also perhaps the best drawing I've ever done. So please forgive me for the reuse. |
Just think, the FDA uses science to ensure public safety. FEMA uses science to ensure they can prepare and protect from natural disasters - this means they need the best science helping them. However, science results are sometimes used for political ends. In the name of science, people have oppressed others. And this makes scientists skittish. But it is part of the job of the scientist to make sure that people are informed. Scientists are needed to help construct good policy and be a resource of information as we encounter new materials, new viruses, new endeavors. Scientists are called on when we want to send humans to new places, and well learn more and more about the world, the universe, and our place in it.
