This is Scientific Americans' 60-second science. I'm Steve Merski.

For this last episode in our podcast series on the Stakes for Science in this election,

So, Jen, what's going on in the world of, for simplicity's sake, technology that will possibly be affected by this election?

So technology is such a huge category these days. It really depends how you define it. But at Siam, we sort of look at it as, you know, there's the very high end whiz-bang innovation stuff.

And, you know, maybe the more traditional things we think about, we say technology like machine learning and advanced therapeutics and things like this.

But right now, so much of what we're dealing with in this

country is the application of a lot of technologies or tools, if we want to simplify.

And we're sort of dealing with both the ramifications, the major ramifications of how technology

has affected our society, the soul of our country,

how we have been divided, how we get information, or as one researcher, Claire Wardle calls it,

information disorder is what we're up against, this feeling ofm, of noise, and just the polarization in this country

of how we just glean knowledge at this point and how trust and information is transmitted.

And so that's such a huge part of what's really at stake.

And then another really big part that I think about when it comes to the broader world of technology is, you know, a lot of infrastructure issues in this country.
