There has never been a time when 'following the science' has been more important for humanity. At no other point in history have we had such advanced knowledge and technology at our fingertips, nor had such astonishing capacity to determine the future of our planet. But the decisions we must make on how science is applied belong outside the lab and should be the outcome of wide public debate. For that to happen, science needs to become part of...

Per capire qual è il futuro e l'importanza della nostra specie bisognerebbe abituarsi a uno sguardo dall'esterno, come quello che potrebbe avere un alieno o un cosmologo. Probabilmente questo cambio di prospettiva avrebbe come effetto secondario quello di renderci consapevoli delle conseguenze a lungo termine dei nostri gesti. Sapere che l'uomo è il prodotto di quattro miliardi e mezzo di anni di evoluzione terrestre potrebbe motivare un ragio...
