More specifically, Chapter 7 introduces and develops several themes involved in understanding the relationship
between science and society. It considers the range of ways in which the progress and processes of scientific research
might and should engage with and involve the broader public. The cases in Chapter 7 examine the issues raised by
transnational research (raising issues about moral differences across cultures), by the prospect of malevolent uses of
research (raising the issue of dual use), the proper conduct of researchers and the role of social categories in research.
