We need the help of the sciences now more than ever, what with the various coronavirus pandemics and other global diseases; repeated economic downturns; environmental pollution and global warming; racial, ethnic, and other sources of social unrest; and much, much more. And yet, the sciences these days are suffering from their own set of problems and have even contributed in significant measure to many of these problems that now beset us. Are the sciences, therefore, up to the job we need done right now, or can they be helped to be up to that job, and if so, how? These are serious issues that a socially relevant science studies should take up. What might be philosophy of science’s role in that endeavor? This chapter focuses on three problems that are especially prominent in US science: the “war on science” waged for decades by influential Republicans, corporate interests, fundamentalist Christians, and even some scientists; the “perverse incentives” and nonincentives also infecting U.S. science; and the racial and ethnic biases widespread there as well. The role the chapter sees for philosophy of science to deal with these problems involves three projects – a prevention project, a rectification project, and a celebration project.
