Is science important to people?

12/08/2014News feedpeople, public engagement, scienceKaisa Matschoss

Is science important to ordinary people? And why?

Science is a system for exploring, winning and losing, for innovation and stagnation. In ancient times knowledge was passed in oral traditions, later people started to record their observations with numerical data and step by step science became more professionalized and institutionalized in 20th century. BUT… science has always been driven by curiosity, creativity, challenges and people. Today a third of the world’s economic growth has resulted from research. It affects us every day from the moment we wake up: the coffee you drink, the bus you ride, the shoes you wear, the film you watch, etc.

IF YOU THINK THAT SCIENCE DOESN’T MATTER THINK AGAIN… AND WATCH PE2020
