This document discusses the relationship between certain societal groups and the scientific community. It notes that some fields like climate change and evolution have become politically charged, causing stakeholders to either unquestioningly accept or be extremely skeptical of scientific findings depending on their ideological views. This has created tensions between scientists and skeptical public groups. Scientists are sometimes accused of letting politics influence their work, while skeptical groups are dismissed as irrational. The document asks students to describe their societal groups' relationship with science - identifying any tensions, their causes and impacts. It provides instructions for responding to other students' posts.
