Politics and Scientific Policy

By: Scientific American Editors

What happens when science meets government? Politics and Scientific Policy explores how decisions about research, technology, and public health are shaped--not just by data, but by politics, money, and values. This eye-opening collection of articles from Scientific American unpacks real-world debates over topics such as climate change, pandemic response, space exploration, and more. With in-depth explanations and compelling facts, this book helps young readers understand the complex forces that influence how science is funded, regulated, and applied in everyday life.
