摘要
The recent advancement of science has been spectacular and the scientific frontier potentially endless. Similarly profound has been the impact of modern science on society and on man himself. And yet, the universal acceptance of science by society is still limited and in need of a more effective transmission of the intellectual and cultural value of science, and a meaningful discussion of the fears and suspicions of science by society. In this paper, I first comment on scientists in modern society and then focus on some areas of stress between scientists and society where lay mutual responsibilities and needs. I conclude by emphasizing the need for mutual accommodation, common action, and continuous dialogue. © Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei 2012.
