商品描述

A ground-breaking new agenda for science that overhauls the current system and its values--and replaces it with a path forward that benefits everyone.

Written by award-winning scientific leaders from historically marginalized sectors of race, gender, and class.

The scientific method is the best tool we have for understanding the natural world, and it is a stunning triumph of human history. But the scientific enterprise has had inequitable impacts. In Reinventing Science, Gilda Barabino, Joseph Graves, Jr., Maureen Kearney, and Shirley Malcom argue that our current scientific system has resulted in inequality across the board--from the practice of science to access to science to the applications of scientific advances for the betterment of society.

This book envisions a reinvented and modernized scientific enterprise that serves contemporary societal needs and further fulfills its promise for the future. The authors make the case for prioritizing a pro-social, values-based vision for science and science policy, particularly at a time when social inequality is exponentially rising, planetary health is rapidly declining, and our democratic systems are eroding. The book features:

  • A detailed chronicle of the 2025 assault on American science across federal agencies, academia, the scientific workforce, and scientific practices and norms
  • An updated characterization of the US scientific workforce and why it matters to outcomes
  • A clear analysis of the processes influencing translation of scientific knowledge into beneficial societal outcomes
  • A call for the collective action necessary to improve science in order to save our future

Finally, the authors call for expanding the scientific workforce; changing the scientific workforce culture so that it can attract and protect historically underserved people into the disciplines; and changing how we evaluate scientific research agendas by re-tasking them to meet societal needs and human aspirations for knowledge and understanding.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一套突破性的科學新議程，徹底革新現行體系及其價值觀，並以一條能讓所有人受益的前進道路取而代之。

本書由來自長期在種族、性別與階級等面向遭邊緣化群體的得獎科學領袖共同撰寫。

科學方法是我們理解自然世界的最佳工具，也是人類歷史上令人驚歎的成就。然而，科學事業所帶來的影響並不公平。在《Reinventing Science》中，Gilda Barabino、Joseph Graves, Jr.、Maureen Kearney 與 Shirley Malcom 指出，現行科學體系已在各個層面造成不平等——從科學的實踐、科學的取得，到將科學進展應用於改善社會的方式，無一不然。

本書描繪了一個經重新發明並現代化的科學事業願景，使其能服務當代社會需求，並進一步實現對未來的承諾。作者主張，科學與科學政策應優先採取親社會、以價值為基礎的願景；尤其在社會不平等正呈指數級上升、地球健康快速惡化，以及民主制度持續受到侵蝕的時代，這樣的主張更顯重要。本書涵蓋：

• 詳細記錄 2025 年美國科學遭受攻擊的情況，範圍橫跨聯邦機構、學術界、科學研究人力，以及科學實務與規範
• 更新對美國科學研究人力的描述，並說明其為何會影響研究成果
• 清楚分析影響科學知識轉化為有益社會成果之過程的各項因素
• 呼籲採取必要的集體行動，改善科學，從而拯救我們的未來

最後，作者呼籲擴大科學研究人力；改變科學研究人力的文化，使其能吸引長期服務不足的族群加入各個學科，並保障他們在其中的發展；同時，也應改變評估科學研究議程的方式，重新調整研究任務，使其能回應社會需求，以及人類對知識與理解的追求。
