Science advice: Quality and independence
Most UK Government departments have a Chief Scientific Adviser, who may advise on any aspect of policy, including those concerning science. They provide advice to Ministers, identify and propagate good practice in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, including the use of scientific advice in policy making. It is a constant balancing act between STEM advocacy, being a ‘good civil servant’ and the need to speak truth unto power at different levels. Of course, nobody can be an expert on all science, so where and how does a science adviser get science advice? Then, how should that advise be framed, bearing in mind the need to demonstrate independence?
