My late father used to say?“If someone says something is complicated, watch your wallet”
We have heard many stories about miracles in religions. ?They are usually based on compassion. On the other hand, science also does miracles but without love and compassion. That is where the problem lies. We cannot do name-calling anti-vaccine protestors without ?stories about “Scientific Miracles” and without love and compassion. It is is like an emperor without clothes, whining.?
One of the true testaments to the scientific miracle is,?Novartis Foundation?Multi-Drug Therapy ( MDT with rifampicin dapsone) almost wiped out the?Christian era dreaded disease, leprosy,?from the face of earth. . Present-day mRNA vaccines are holding the pandemic at bay with huge success. No doubt these are scientific wonders among many. What is not wonderful is, the “Science-Communication”.?
It is heartbreaking to see that 6 out of 10 Americans do not trust Science or Medicine. In democratically run countries, the scientific enterprise is funded by the public. Science does not happen in a vacuum. It is intertwined with people, society at large, and its norms, cultures, and institutions. In 1945 at the end of World War II, the American public made a landmark pact called. “Science -Society Contract” with the government. That is related to public support of science. Scientific institutions need support from all walks of life, which includes the fair participation of rural whites, inner-city African Americans,?Native Americans, Latinos, and all women. It should not be limited to the upper echelons of society.?
The scientific enterprise must look for new ways of communicating and expressing science and medicine, to every stakeholder. We should do that without challenging someone’s faith or beliefs. Extending someone's faith to science is an art of storytelling. After all, 1+0=1 is a faith-based statement, so all the mathematical axioms! We have created entire laws of the universe from faith-based statements.?
Scientific establishments both public and private should fund, new brands of the country and rap artists, who promote science and medicine through catchy ways. Medical illustration videos by Yemini born science communicator. Hashem Al-Ghaili is one of those examples. We can also extend the scientific expression through our daily wear which I have created “Medicine through Daily wear” ( Coming Soon)?
Let us exploit the best virtue of humans, that is curiosity, and create a science system by all and for all. True miracles happen in science and they can be repeated,
