It promotes scientific literacy, informed decision-making, and ethical considerations, while also inspiring future generations to pursue scientific endeavours. It goes beyond academic institutions and research labs and it is the bridge that connects the scientific community to the rest of the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public Engagement is not only recognized by EMBL, but actively supported. As stated in Chapter 15 of EMBL Programme 2022-2026, \u201cThe goal of public engagement and outreach activity by EMBL is to ensure wider awareness and application of EMBL\u2019s knowledge by general scientific audiences, policymakers, and the public, as well as more informed research choices by EMBL staff and the wider research community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our colleague Michele from SEPE Office kindly suggested the new titles, and more information on public engagement and outreach activities can be found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/internal-information\/eicat\/sepe\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/internal-information\/eicat\/sepe\/\">SEPE <\/a>Office page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">New titles<\/h2>\n\n\n<article class=\"vf-summary vf-summary--news\">\n  <span class=\"vf-summary__date\"><\/span>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"191\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/szilard-library\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/tyr-191x300.jpg\" class=\"vf-summary__image\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 180px; height: auto; border: 1px solid #d0d0ce\" loading=\"lazy\" itemprop=\"image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/szilard-library\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/tyr-191x300.jpg 191w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/szilard-library\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/tyr.jpg 297w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 191px) 100vw, 191px\" \/>  <h3 class=\"vf-summary__title\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/libcatalog.embl.de\/cgi-bin\/koha\/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=36410\" class=\"vf-summary__link\" target=\"\">\n          The tyranny of science (Polity Press 2011)          <\/a>\n      <\/h3>\n  <p class=\"vf-summary__text\">By Paul Feyerabend<\/p>\n<p class=\"vf-summary__text\">In this wide-ranging and accessible book Feyerabend challenges some modern myths about science, including the myth that \u2018science is successful\u2019.
