Description

I would like to give a Flash Talk to start a discussion on the responsibility of scientists in the society. Can and should serious scientific work be combined with activism? What are the dangers and advantages? How to deal with a situation where the gap between what scientifically makes sense and the political norm is growing. The talk should stimulate discussion rather than provide answers, and will be based on personal thoughts.
