Science has always been portrayed as molecules, beakers, lab coats and math symbols. We often don\u2019t think about how people actually interact with scientific information, and where the \u2018science\u2019 goes after it\u2019s done in the lab or field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, most research is funded by public money, so it is fair to expect that the work will eventually benefit society and people. Sadly, this is not always the case, and the reasons why are not always clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A century ago, scientists were perceived to conduct research in an ivory tower, whereas now people want to be informed, involved and have a say in scientific activities and how research is used. Some say that \u2018science has a new social contract with society\u2019. During this Science Caf\u00e9, Nguyen will discuss the role and importance of social sciences in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and why the science of studying people matters. She will bring examples of her research on science policy and science communication in the field of fisheries and conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
