#Science brings #knowledge to the #policy makers and the people. It creates a basis for informed discussions about solutions to problems. The knowledge must available to all. Both scientists and policy makers should strive to not weaponize science as it creates a toxic environment for debate and general distrust. 3/
#philosophy is the basis of both #democracy and #science. Philosophy is the fundamental thinking about people, relations and things etc. Political processes and scientific methods are rooted in philosophy.
