STS Challenges. The Next Ten Minutes and The Coexistence of Modes of Science

Abstract

Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic is not only a profound health, economic and social crisis but also a dense summary of key STS concepts. The current pandemic invites us to recognise the co-existence of different modes of science, offering an opportunity to contribute to a better understanding of contemporary science in society dynamics and their changes.

Keywords: STS; Covid-19; modes of science; coexistence; decisional processes.
