Climate change, environmental degradation, misinformation, irresponsible use of AI, and a potential pandemic: the challenges of the future require scientifically informed policies and equipped citizens. But how do we align science and policy? How do we use the results of scientific developments responsibly in clinical practice? How do we communicate the scientific method, including its shortcomings? And how do we involve the public in living guidelines for responsible use of new developments, such as generative AI?
