    The Ups and Downs of Scientific Progress If you were asked what the goal of science and research is‚ you would most likely respond that they exist for the benefit of the human population. However‚ this is not‚ and was not always the case. Taking a closer look at the history of science‚ particularly from the 1950s on‚ revels that things have not always been all well and good.
