Episode 2
“The current world needs science, to develop well informed decisions. And that can only come from scientific autonomy.”
“Scientific autonomy does not mean that individual scientists can or should be able to do whatever they want.”
In the second episode, Lidia Borrell-Damián (Secretary General of Science Europe) and Willem Halffman (Associate Professor at Radboud University) delve into the concept of scientific autonomy, addressing how it should be balanced with responsibility to avert ethical issues and dangers.
