This research addresses how the biomedical and social sciences and the humanities can interact with one another in research public policy. One way to study the social context of science is by comparing the substance of its progress with its profile in the mass media and in Congressionally mandated funding. Dr. Adelman is leading this research at the Institute and is currently tabulating the further disproportion between the substance of that scientific community and the social impact of aging and disease measured by content analysis of the written news media.
