As a professional in the sciences, in your opinion what do you feel is an important and interesting scientific issue, topic, or problem faced by the world and/or humans today that we should be aware of?
​
"There has become an increasing disconnect between the majority of
people in America (and, a variety of degrees, the rest of the world) understanding
the full impact of how scientific advancement has benefited the world and how science is conducted and applied to the world’s challenges. Citizens of the world need to become much more scientifically literate in order to understand the intricacy of the challenges the whole of humanity is facing. Some of these challenges include climate change, ocean acidification, habitat loss, extinction of species...possibly leading to the world’s 6th mass extinction, use of resources, how to manage consumption and waste, and a
myriad of other issues"
