Science in Society
At Science in Society, we believe that science is fundamental, even “elemental” to our lives. Science affects us in many ways, from medical advances that touch our lives personally, to state and federal policy decisions concerning the environment or research regulations that impact our society at large.
Our goal is to make the community aware of the exciting research efforts at Northwestern University and across the world. We explore not only the science, but the legal, ethical, and even economic implications of research as well. We also offer a single access point to find science outreach events at Northwestern designed for the public, and we maintain a media library of past events, so you can enjoy lectures from the experts on your own computer, on your own time.
