"Science can solve societal problems, and it can affect societal decisions."

Explanation: Scientific knowledge and technologies help solve many practical problems (health, energy, agriculture, environment) and scientific evidence informs and influences public policy and personal decisions. Science, however, does not automatically determine values or all policy choices—social, ethical, economic, and political factors also play roles.
