Salvar la ciencia

Abstract

La ciencia enfrenta una crisis multifacética –de calidad, valor público y legitimidad política– cuyo origen es, en gran medida, la creencia de que la simple curiosidad cientí¡ca ayuda a resolver problemas científicos y sociales. Este artículo muestra que esa creencia afecta cada vez más la capacidad de la empresa científica para satisfacer los estándares de alta calidad y las necesidades de la sociedad, a pesar de su creciente productividad. Contrasta el ideal de la libre investigación con episodios reales de interrelación entre ciencia, innovación y solución de problemas después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Y, con ejemplos actuales e históricos, muestra que es necesario vincular más estrechamente la creación de conocimiento a la solución de problemas para que la ciencia recupere su integridad y cumpla sus promesas y su responsabilidad con la sociedad.
