This eye-opening collection of articles from Scientific American unpacks real-world debates over topics such as climate change, pandemic response, space exploration, and more. With in-depth explanations and compelling facts, this book helps young readers understand the complex forces that influence how science is funded, regulated, and applied in everyday life.
