The Grand Challenge and Ethics of the ‘Central Science’
Chemistry, one of the main branches of natural science, has been called the ‘central science’. Whether or not it has ‘easily articulated grand challenges’, a question posed in Nature is an intriguing one1. Could it be that ‘easy articulation’, an advantage enjoyed by physics and biology, may actually mean more of packaging and less of substance? If so, then ethical advocacy of all science and not just chemistry must start with a look at funding of science.
