2022 was a year of huge scientific breakthroughs and discoveries, with many also looking to science for support with the health emergency and ever-present climate change concerns. With this in mind, our voters considered whether more of our attention should be geared towards funding and finding scientific innovations and solutions in the future.
"We think Science will solve the world's problems, that's why we think it is important for children to learn Science in school. More time should be devoted to learning Science in schools to inspire future Scientists.”
"Science can not solve all the world problems. The environment and global warming might happen before we find a way.”
“If they have the right funding and the right equipment they will be able to figure out how to get sustainable energy to every country [...] If we all supported science more we could get a lot more done."
