In this first episode of Science Station 2 host Hayley Stoddart and guest Dr. Ethan Siegel discuss the social progress that is seen in Star Trek, then compare that to where societies of Earth are currently and what will potentially need to happen for us to achieve the level of global equality in Star Trek. How do we start the process of achieving true equality in the United States, then translate that on a global scale? What policy changes need to happen? Who decides what needs to change first, and how do we make it happen? These are questions that Hayley and Dr. Siegel ponder in this first episode of Science Station 2.
