Wissenschaft während der Pandemie: Wenn Menschen der Wissenschaft nicht mehr glauben

"Follow the Science" war eine Art Schlachtruf in der Pandemie – aber ein missverständlicher. Was kann man tun, wenn Forschung plötzlich als politisch wahrgenommen wird?

Last week: Ethics of quantification - Seminar at LAMSADE, Université Paris Dauphine, organised by Meltem ÖZTÜRK ESCOFFIER, February 5, 2025. See slides: http://www.andreasaltelli.eu/file/repository/Lesson_EoQ_5.pdf

“society rightly distrusts the modeling done by a single mind”

@AndreaSaltelli noted [2]:

"where science is used to deal with plagues, pandemics, social and ecological problems related to our increasing impact on the planet and health, inequalities and human rights violations, the post-normal approach may be seen as natural"

"perspectives that tend to reduce the complexity of these choices to easy one-dimensional metrics and present these as the stark facts on which politics must act, are the ones that most tragically—often—lead to wrong choices"

It is imperative to reflect on the aspects of global governance, including scientific governance, that made the crisis possible and the solution difficult, despite the success of pharmaceutical technology that allowed the production of billions of vaccine doses in an unthinkably short time"

"in the context of the erosion of inherited certainties and of societal transformation. In an age of decline and demise of major social institutions of all sorts [...], what is happening to knowledge?"
