Our duty towards society

Abstract

Science serves or should serve a greater duty — that of improving the economic and social conditions of humanity. To achieve this, science and scientists, most of all, need to have a voice in the discussion of Public Policies, which carry decisions that influence the economic and social outcomes. Public Policies based on the best evidence available and in an open and rich discussion are our best assurance to a more prosperous society — but for this to be possible, the scientific community must join the discussion.
