As governments cut research budgets and international relations become more transactional, the relationship between science and political decision-making is entering a more fragile phase.
The risk, according to Sir Peter Gluckman, president of the International Science Council, is not that science itself has lost credibility. It is that the cultures of science and policymaking operate on different logics — and that scientists have been reluctant to examine weaknesses within their own system.
