Science and society

Science shapes society by driving new technology, medicine, and policy, and society shapes science back by deciding which research gets funded and how discoveries get used. Scientists sometimes face ethical questions too, like weighing a new technology's benefits against its possible risks. How much the public trusts and understands science can affect how quickly society accepts new evidence, from vaccines to climate data.
