> A fundamental goal of the scientific endeavour is to advance society through knowledge and innovation. As scientists, we strive to cure disease, improve environmental health and understand our place in the Universe. And yet the dominant values ingrained in scientists centre on the virtues of independence, ambition and objectivity. That is a grossly inadequate set of skills with which to support a mission of advancing society. ... We need to be able to reflect on how our research fits into society. That requires not just our intellects, but also our emotions. I fear that, in the pursuit of objectivity, science has lost its heart.
-- Natalie Kofler, molecular biologist and scholar at the Yale Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics in New Haven, Connecticut. WORLD VIEW. 26 FEBRUARY 2019 Nature 566, 427
