    The COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainty for science, technology, and innovation. Working from home could increase diversity and participation in science and technology fields. Savings from reduced office space could fund innovation, but may be used elsewhere. More scientific conferences and collaboration can occur virtually, with uncertain effects on productivity. Virtual events allow larger, more diverse audiences and reduce costs and carbon footprints from travel. Virtual training tools also increase access and flexibility.

    ACTIVITY 1:

    1. In the face of this new science and technology innovation, why it is important

    to study STS?

    Studying science, technology, and society is very important for every individual, but
    especially for individuals who are working towards a career in science or technology.
    Technology is progressing at a faster pace than ever before and new science discoveries are
    being made every day. Studying science, technology, and society will help an individual to
    understand the world around them, and in turn, this awareness will allow an individual to be
    better prepared for new changes in the world. One of the most important things that
    studying science, technology, and society will teach you is to be a critical thinker. You will
    have a better understanding of how science and technology affect the world around you,
    you will learn to think analytically, and you will learn to evaluate the ideas that you
    encounter
    2. Why is it important to question the moral and ethical issues surrounding the

    assigned S&T?

    Technological innovations are the drivers of humankind development. As such,


    ethical and moral considerations are in order. The caveat is that the frameworks of those
    considerations are also obliged to change as well, all geared to benefit the human race
    development and survival. There is no such thing as Science innovation, by the way, only
    inventions. When new scientific discoveries and inventions come about, their pratical use is
    reached through technological innovations.
    3. In this time of global pandemic, what are the advantages and disadvantages

    of science and technology?

    The COVID-19 pandemic has generated significant uncertainty across all


    aspects of the global economy and society. Likewise, the pandemic’s long term
    impacts on science, technology and innovation are impossible to predict. Working
    from home could allow for more flexible work engagements and increase diversity in
    STI, enabling greater involvement of those with care responsibilities or located in
    more remote areas. Savings from reduced office space could also provide more
    resources for innovation activities but may also be used in other ways.

    More scientific conferences, training and research collaboration activities may be


    held virtually, with uncertain outcomes on the productivity of STI. Virtual conferences
    allow for larger and more diverse audiences than in-person meetings, and reduce
    transaction costs as well as the carbon footprint incurred by travel. Virtual training
    tools facilitate access to training for wider audiences and are highly flexible, making
    training more compatible with work commitments. They could also facilitate more
    tailored training by pooling expertise across institutions and enabling students to
    participate remotely in training offered by partner institution
    4. “If you were an inventor, what would you invent?” Sketch a draft of your

    invention then answer the following questions:

    a. What is your invention? What does it do?

    b. How is your invention similar to or different from existing tools or

    technologies in terms of function?

    c. Why is there a need for this invention? How will this invention make

    the world a better place to live in?
