Buongiorno:
vi invito a sfogliare e se avete tempo a leggere il numero di Physics & Society (American Physical Soc) appena uscito
http://www.aps.org/units/fps/newsletters/200910/index.cfm
c'è un articolo di L.M.Branscomb dal quale mi permetto di estrarre una solo paragrafo (per chi non ha tempo):
********************************************************************** Progress in science is based on transparency, accountability, and trust; these are also basic principles of sustainable democratic government.
Thus if science and democracy are both to flourish, government must be pragmatic, open, and viewed by the voters as legitimate and responsive to voter desires.
If science is corrupted by government, government itself is in danger of becoming corrupt. And conversely, when government allows itself to become corrupt, science advice is sure to suffer as well. ***********************************************************************
non credo che occorra commentare. Saluti Anna
