"We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology"

- Carl Sagan

About this Quote

This quote by Carl Sagan highlights the paradoxical nature of our contemporary society. We are heavily reliant on science and technology, yet the majority of us have little to no understanding of how it works. This absence of knowledge can cause a detach in between the public and the scientific neighborhood, as well as a lack of appreciation for the unbelievable advances that science and technology have actually made in our lives. This disconnect can lead to a lack of support for clinical research study and development, which can have an unfavorable effect on our society. It is important that we bridge this space and guarantee that everybody has access to the knowledge and understanding of science and technology that is necessary to make educated choices.
