Election 2016: What does it mean for science, technology, and innovation?
In this special episode of the futurethink podcast, Heather Ross and Andrew Maynard have an unplanned (but recorded) chat with colleagues Michael Bennett, Bob Cook-Deegan, and Diana Bowman. They discuss the possible implications of the 2016 presidential election results on the near future of science, technology, research, and innovation.
Show Notes
• The Master's of Science and Technology policy program at Arizona State University prepares graduates to work on the intersection of science policy and politics. Check it out here: https://sfis.asu.edu/degree/science-technology-policy-0
• The Disruptive Innovation Festival is an online, open access event for thought leaders and entrepreneurs exploring the changing economy and where we go from here. Find out more here: https://www.thinkdif.co/big-top-tents/arizona-state-university-asu
• What does the 2016 Presidential election mean for the future of science and technology policy?
• Some areas of scientific research are expected to remain untouched, such as the Precision Medicine Initiative (https://www.nih.gov/precision-medicine-initiative-cohort-program), the cancer moonshot( https://www.cancer.gov/research/key-initiatives/moonshot-cancer-initiative/task-force), Alzheimer’s research (https://www.nia.nih.gov/), the Brain Initiative (https://www.braininitiative.nih.gov/), and CERN (https://home.cern/).
• Scientists must now practice what they preach through responsible innovation and use public engagement as a tool to engage people who feel disenfranchised.
• Closing notes: We must confront the distrust of expertise. How can experts re-frame the issues?
o Propose--don’t preach.
o Listen.
o Shared value in democracy.
