On April 22, 2017 the March for Science will take place in Washington, DC and hundreds of satellite marches will be held around the world. Changes in the socio-political and economic contexts in which science takes place are challenging the acceptance of scientific evidence as a basis for policy-making, commitment of governments to fund research, and abilities of scientists to communicate their work. As such, there is an urgent need to communicate the value of science as core to human well-being.
So, what exactly does it mean to have a human right to science?
Science, its methodologies, its processes, and the truths it can reveal, are vital to human rights.
