Science, Technology, & Society (Hollinger)
Issues in the News
Science & technology issues are in the news every single day. Sometimes they are part of the headlines, other times they are tucked into the Health, Environment, Technology, or Science pages or sections of the major news outlets (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Univision, CNN, BBC, even ESPN). All of the issues also have an ethical component to them, but it is not always stated explicitly. Some times it is just the tone of the article questioning if we should do it or not, or asking why we haven't done it.
Below are recommended sources:

This will take you to the web site where you can view the issue as published in paper or the online edition. Close any pop-up window that wants you to subscribe.
This has a British point of view. I especially like the Tech, Science, & Health sections. I also like the Future and Earth articles.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
