Explanation / Answer

Politics can affect science is many ways. Politics can affect and even dictate the manner in which science is done. For example, passing laws that limit whether embryos can be used in stem cell research. Politics can allocate funding to various scientific causes. Politics can create a great research environment in the universities. Politics can affect science with regards to funding. If a politician wants to change the law they will often use scientific research conducted to prove how this law change would be helpful. It may promote or discourage the development, innovation, and invention of new technologies, products, procedures, and concepts. The government can be greatly influenced towards the ideals and principles of politics. It may hinder or add more additional budget allocation to promote science and its ally fields. Scientists,in turn, can tell policymakers how policy decisions affect their work, describing how funding reduction or cumbersome regulations would hamper their research. For an honorable politician, scientific findings open the door to increasing the quality of life or standard of living of the people whom they serve. The politician can introduce legislation with funding or encourage executive branch policies that encourage developing the science into useful technology and spurring derivative research. For example, the “space race” required numerous scientific advancements in materials, communications, electronics, computing, fuels, project management, and so on. Many of these scientific advancements became foundational to consumer electronics, integrated circuitry (personal computing), energy storage / batteries, and so on. It was a politician (John Kennedy) who used executive branch policy to fund the advancement of the science that was foundational to the technology of manned space flight - communication satellites, weather satellites and so on. For a dishonorable politician, the implications of the scientific findings can be used to scare the public, to advocate policies that shift wealth and the balance of power into the hands of parties who are self-serving, and so on. At its core, science is a reliable method for creating knowledge, and thus power. Because science pushes the boundaries of knowledge, it pushes us to constantly refine our ethics and morality, and that is always political. Having more science-minded and scientifically trained individuals in politics could help swing debates on topics such as climate change, nuclear power, and vaccinations.
