What happens when the old contract between science and society no longer fits?
This week, Prof. Heather Douglas unpacks the legacy of the value-free ideal, examines research ethics & funding — and proposes a new social contract for science. This was an illuminating conversation.

Great to see #HPS scholars participating in these @aaas.org Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering Workshops, which provide an opportunity to learn from science policy & advocacy experts about the role of science in policymaking & the federal policy-making process. #SciPol
I am thrilled to share that I was selected as one of four BU PhD students to attend the 2025 #CASEWorkshop organized by @aaas.org. Looking forward to contributing a #HPS & #philsci perspective to the discussions on #SciencePolicy. #MakingOurCASE @hps-aaas.bsky.social

"After WW II, officials understood need to support fundamental research, the kind that doesn’t lead right away to marketable innovations. But such work is expensive. So universities & the federal government agreed to split costs. Now you’re seeing feds trying to walk away from that,” Dr. Thorp said.
As Trump Targets Research, Scientists Share Grief and Resolve to Fight
At a conference in Boston, the nation’s scientists commiserated and strategized as funding cuts and federal layoffs throw their world into turmoil.

About to head to the airport for this. I will argue for a more constant dialogue between history & policy among other perspectives. In 2020, the Trump administration was touting its focus on DEI even as the seeds of the current campaign were being sown with anti-CRT. Clearly another era.
