1 Science Policy and Social Change December 2003

2 S&T Drive Economic Growth Scientific and technical changes accounts for as much as 50% of long-run economic growth, even perhaps as much as 75%.

3 Public Science is Pillar of Industry 73% of science papers cited by U.S. industrial patents were based on research financed by government or nonprofit agencies. Trends in Basic Research Funding FY

4 Science is a Principal Driver of Change SOCIAL CHANGE Internet ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE Climate SCIENCE- BASED ECONOMY HEALTH AND MEDICAL CHANGE Biotechnology NATIONAL SECURITY CHANGE Weapons of Mass Destruction Science has the power to completely transform civilization. For some, science has made life comfortable and secure. For others, it has meant death and destruction

5 Science Policy Can Drive Outcomes Types of Benefits SCIENCE POLICY Emergence of New Problems Given the impact of science, science policy is the key variable, yet almost entirely ignored. Distribution of Benefits Distribution of Problems

6 DISCUSSION What are the major science policy issues in China and how do they affect you?

7 Evolution of the U.S. NIS Laissez-Faire ( ) War and Post-War ( ) Federalization ( )

8 Laissex-Faire ( ) Government has no distinct S&T policy or mission Key institutions in NIS were independent corporate R&D labs In the late 19 th century, universities emerge as the home of basic science and advanced training

9 War and Post-War ( ) Government establishes R&D institutions and expanded academic role to support the war effort Large-scale federal investment, federally mandated objectives, targeted funding and industry-government cooperation are the norm By end of war, hundreds of new labs established and potential of large-scale R&D to meet national objectives is demonstrated

10 Science the Endless Frontier President Roosevelt asks Vannevar Bush, the director of the war-time OSRD, to look ahead to the role of science in peacetime Science the Endless Frontier becomes the foundation for U.S. science policy

11 Foundations of U.S. Science Policy Republic of Science Self-regulation by scientists Market Failure Model Basic science as a public good Unpredictability Science as experimentation

12 Current Approach to Science Policy Inputs Processes Products Outcomes Addresses Conduct of S&T Products and processes of S&T Assumes All societal outcomes will be positive Linear model of innovation and societal benefit

13 Federalization: NIS Institutions Hundred of large industrial labs Dozens of large federal labs Thousands of small technology-oriented labs and companies Hundred of unconnected and unplanned federal labs Hundreds of thousands of researchers at universities

14 But where are we going?

15 Indications of Societal Transformation GMO controversy Affordability of AIDS drugs Lack of medical insurance Aging of the population Changing climate

16 Satisfaction (is not tied to wealth)

17 Health (is not entirely tied to wealth)

18 Health (is not always tied to spending) Country Japan 74.5 France 73.1 Sweden 73.0 U.K U.S China 62.3 Iran 60.5 India 53.2 Disability-Adjusted Life Expectancy Country U.S France 9.8 Sweden 9.2 Japan 7.1 U.K. 5.8 Iran 5.5 China 5.3 India 5.2 Health Expenditures as % of GDP

19 DISCUSSION How can science and science-based technology most effectively contribute to an improved quality of life for the greatest number of people? Malaria is the leading cause of death in young children. It is estimated that if malaria had been eradicated in Africa by 1960, GDP would be 32% higher than it is today. Until the 1950s, polio crippled thousands of children every year in industrialized countries.

20 Dual Agenda: Science and Social Equity The challenge is to develop S&T policy that reaches a significant proportion of the population S&T and social issues are critically interdependent Technology strategy drives government spending and its social outcomes Linear thinking in technology policy is linear thinking in social outcomes

21 DISCUSSION How does the science that we do affect the social choices we make? The two atomic bombs dropped during WWII killed 150,000 people. More than 100 million women are on birth control pills. More than 80% of women in the U.S. born after 1945 have used the pill.

22 DISCUSSION How do the S&T programs we implement affect the distribution and equity of outcomes? Sub-Saharan Africa holds 2% of the world s population, but 30% of the AIDS population Three million people worldwide died of AIDS this past year, 2.3 million of them in southern Africa

23 Lessons from Old Science Policy Desired outcomes can drive the science Societal value of new knowledge is determined by how it is used and by whom it is used Societal outcomes reflect who is making science policy Desired outcomes emerge when scientific advance is well-matched by societal needs

24 Cycle Dynamics Education New skills New social structures New institutions Societal Outcomes S&T Outcomes Knowledge Networks POLICY Economic Outcomes Conduct of Science Knowledge transfer New industries Tech transfer

25 New Science Policy New Science Policy aims to create knowledge, cultivate public discourse and foster policies that help society grapple with the immense power of science.

26 A New Science Policy Framework Outcome-driven Integrated Informed Self-correcting Recognizes and responds to the inextricable links between science and technology and societal evolution

27 Morality and Science What is the collective good we want inquiry to promote? Philip Kitcher, Professor of Philosophy, Columbia University
