Scientists have a choice concerning what role they should play in
political debates and policy formation, particularly in terms of
how they present their research. This book is about understanding
this choice, what considerations are important to think about when
deciding, and the consequences of such choices for the individual
scientist and the broader scientific enterprise. Rather than
prescribing what course of action each scientist ought to take, the
book aims to identify a range of options for individual scientists
to consider in making their own judgments about how they would like
to position themselves in relation to policy and politics. Using
examples from a range of scientific controversies and
thought-provoking analogies from other walks of life, The Honest
Broker challenges us all - scientists, politicians and citizens -
to think carefully about how best science can contribute to
policy-making and a healthy democracy.
