Sabine Carey on the COM'LAB SciencePod

Science is often criticized as costly or unnecessary, but Sabine Carey shows that it is essential for progress, democracy, and our future. In an episode of the COM'LAB SciencePod, she highlights the importance of research for our society and its role in enabling well-founded decisions. She explains how scientific work provides long-term impulses for technological and social progress. The discussion makes clear that science funding should be seen in a more nuanced way and its value for democracy more strongly emphasized.

The COM'LAB SciencePod is a Trans­forMA project funded by the Bundes­ministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF).
