Within the second part of our episode dedicated to the US Presidential elections between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, we would like to pay special attention to revisioning this complex topic from the perspective of Science and Technology Studies (STS), 👨‍🎓 Politics, society, science, and technology are inseparable entities of our lives and are the core aspects that construct our past, present, and future. 🤯 We managed to apply the STS approach to the case of the US presidential elections by discussing the certainties and uncertainties, the value of expertise and controversy, the impact technology has on understanding and participating in politics, and most importantly the impact on our future-making.🌍 📌 What do you think is the role of science in politics, elections, and voting?
