Scientific research often affects us in ways we don't realise! Examples of how research impacts our daily lives can include an interview or an article in which a researcher helps us better understand a certain event; or an exhibition or a talk that sheds new light on a phenomenon; or a show that gives us food for thought about our own society; and so on.
