There has never been a time when 'following the science' has been
more important for humanity. At no other point in history have we
had such advanced knowledge and technology at our fingertips, nor
had such astonishing capacity to determine the future of our
planet. But the decisions we must make on how science is applied
belong outside the lab and should be the outcome of wide public
debate. For that to happen, science needs to become part of our
common culture. Science is not just for scientists: if it were, it
could never save us from the multiple crises we face. For science
can save us, if its innovations mesh carefully into society and its
applications are channelled for the common good. As Martin Rees
argues in this expert and personal analysis of the scientific
endeavour on which we all depend, we need to think globally, we
need to think rationally and we need to think long-term, empowered
by twenty-first-century technology but guided by values that
science alone cannot provide.
