Should vitamin ingredients, herbal supplements, and household cleaners be regulated? How are we going to produce the energy we need without adding to the already high levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere? Why should professional athletes not be allowed to use steroids or growth hormones? The answers to these and other important questions lie in the study of science. Not only does science help us make intelligent and informed decisions, but it also is an essential foundation of every technological society. From the environment to health care, science impacts everything, and affects us in ways we may have never imagined.
